Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice known for its warm, slightly sweet, and floral flavor. It comes from the seeds of plants in the genera Elettaria (green cardamom) and Amomum (black cardamom), both of which belong to the ginger family.
Green cardamom, with its fresh and vibrant flavor, is more commonly used in sweet dishes, beverages like chai tea, and desserts across Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. It's also a key ingredient in many spice blends, such as garam masala.
