Cardamom

Lesser known than the green variety, White Cardamom is a cooking staple in some parts of 
Central Asia and China. It lacks the peppery overtones of green or black cardamom, but has a fresh aroma that brightens dishes.

White Cardamom also pairs well with star anise when preparing braised beef.

Benefits of Coriander Seeds:  

Antimicrobial Properties: Cardamom was regarded to possess infection-fighting properties. In contrast to ancient herbal treatments against harmful bacteria, modern antibiotics have been found to produce side effects such as inhibition of good bacteria in the intestines. While spices such as cardamom may not be as consistently powerful, they inhibit only infectious microbes, not beneficial probiotics. This theory was tested in experiments with its extracts. The oils from cardamom were able to 
inhibit the growth and spread of dangerous microbes that may be a cause of food poisoning. Studies have also suggested that cardamom may also have the potential to become an alternative therapy against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. 

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Evidence suggests that certain compounds in cardamom may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. A 2010 report suggests that black pepper and cardamom extracts may help in building a healthy immune system. Research has found these properties to be protective when inflammation and oxidative stress are caused by unhealthy weight and diet.

Improves Digestion: Cardamom has been traditionally used in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and the Unani system as a remedy for digestive problems. It may have carminative and stomachic properties. The methanolic extract from cardamom is the component that may help in controlling gastrointestinal discomforts such as acidity, flatulence, and stomach cramps. 

Regulate Blood Pressure: Studies show that antioxidants derived from plants may help in keeping away diabetes and cardamom has been used for the same in many countries. To analyze the effectiveness of this remedy, researchers conducted various studies and found that cardamom does help in lowering your risk of diabetes mellitus.  Laboratory studies have found cardamom to help in regulating glucose and insulin levels through inhibition of digestive enzymes. The loss of the activity of these enzymes produces a reduction of starch and protein digestion.
