Large Cardamom is cultivated in the Sub-Himalayan region of North Eastern India, Nepal and Bhutan. It is grown in cold humid conditions under shade of trees at an altitude between 800-2000 meters above MSL., with an average precipitation of 3000-3500 mm spread over about 200 days and with temperature ranging from 6-30 degree C.

USES

Sesame seeds were originally a staple food of the Middle East. They are said to be the greatest of all seeds due to the high nutrition value as well as their oil. To enhance the nutty flavour, sesame seeds can be toasted in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. They can be used to garnish sweet and savory dishes and used in baking. Raw or roasted sesame seeds can be ground into Tahini.
