INTRODUCTION
We are all familiar with the pleasant odours coming out from
flowers, spices and many trees. The essence or aromas of plants are due
term “essential oils” literally means “oils derived from the essence” of
plants. Essential oils are mainly used for their pleasant odours and
such as petroleum ether, benzene etc. Essential oils may occur in all parts of the
plant, but they are often concentrated in the seeds or flowers. They are
obtained from the plants by the process of steam distillation and extraction. The

Aniseed Essential oil
Aniseed, on steam distillation, yields an essential oil, known as `Oil of
Aniseed`, which has now replaced the fruits for medicinal and flavoring

varies from 1.9 to 3.1 per cent. Higher values up to 6 per cent have been

USES FOR CARDAMOM
1 Smoothies
Add some cardamom to fruit smoothies to give them an extra edge. It doesn’t
matter what flavor the basic smoothie is – in fact, the more exotic the better.
2 Fruit loaves
If you want to jazz up your banana bread or add a bit of life to your tired fruit

Just add the spice when you are mixing in the rest of the dry ingredients and
you will get a lovely warm, rich flavor from the finished loaf.

especially well, but you could also try adding a little ground cardamom to ice
cream, set custards, yogurt, and baked fruit.
5 Casseroles
A few pods added to a casserole dish will give a lamb, chicken or vegetable
casserole an extra zing and makes a great entertaining or moving house meal.
