The use of cardamom supplements, extracts and essential oils is likely to become more common in light of the promising results of research on its medicinal uses. Some people swear by placing your cardamom seeds in 2.5% nitric acid solution for a few minutes, before rinsing and soaking in water overnight. We have seen success without using the acid mix first.
