darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr I tend to underestimate the magic of herbs and spices. I love to add cumin to beans for the flavor and also to reduce bloating. -
emeyerl 8yr What is the benefit of cardamom? -
darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr @emeyerl The author says that cardamom is supposed to help the gastrointestinal tract (or the digestive system) with digestion and it decreases flatulence and stomach cramps.

DietID_TeamDietitians I'm glad the point is made about how your body absorbs nutrients, like vitamin D. Just drinking water with extra vitamins doesn't help you as much ingesting it with a full meal.
