You may never make it to the jungles of Guatemala, but there is a way you can bring those same jungles to you right here in Provo.

Another one of my favorite uses is to add some cardamom to my oatmeal along with a splash of vanilla extract. Below is another cardamom recipe for the most delicious bread to have with your hot chocolate.
The aroma of cardamom evokes a memory of my visits to the airport in Coban, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala. It is there where “squadrons” of Cessna bush pilots fly in and out of the Guatemalan jungles to pick up the cardamom “quintales” or gunny sacks that indigenous farmers have filled with cardamom grown on their plots of land. The only way to access the goods of some of these farmers is by air with a rough landing on a dirt strip. Yes, there are many airplane wreckages out in the jungle as a reminder of an overweight takeoff or the cow that decided to take a stroll across the strip on landings roll.........
