Cardamom

Considered to be the third most expensive spice next to saffron and vanilla.  Grown mainly in rainforest countries such as Guatemala, Sri Lanka and Mexico.  Use with cinnamon and nutmeg to accent the flavor of pastries.  Can also be used to flavor coffee by adding to coffee grinds before brewing.  Small amount added to pears when stewing, apples when baking, or sprinkled in fresh fruit salad adds interesting flavor.  The pods have no splits or cracks in the shell, so the flavor keeps well.  Stored in a glass jar, cardamom pods will stay fresh indefinitely.   Ground cardamom has an intensely strong flavor and is easy to use.
