Cardamom

Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice that originates from the seeds of various plants belonging to the ginger family. It is known for its strong, unique flavor that is both sweet and slightly spicy, making it a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. The spice is often used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. Cardamom is available in two main types: green and black. Green cardamom is more commonly used and has a lighter, more delicate flavor, while black cardamom has a smoky, robust taste. Besides its culinary uses, cardamom is also valued for its medicinal properties, including digestive benefits and its role as a natural breath freshener. The spice is typically sold as whole pods, seeds, or ground powder, and it is often added to teas, coffees, and baked goods to enhance their flavor.
