the spice markets of Zanzibar are dominated by the smell of this fantastic Cardamom. It is less known that Cardamom is extracted from the seed of the cardamom perennial plant and that this plant only grows under very specific conditions. Cardamom needs humus-rich soil, hot and humid climate, shade and regular grooming to flourish. Zanzibar provides optimal conditions for this: 1001 Organic Cardamom is mainly cultivated in the shade of big spice trees. This results in an outstanding Cardamom from Zanzibar.
