What is Cardamom?

Cardamom plants (Elettaria cardamomum) grow mainly in higher and shaded areas near tropical forests with relatively high rainfall. These conditions are mainly found in Southeast Asia and Central America. Cardamom is also known as green cardamom and is related to ginger. Cardamom has a delicious sweet and pungent smell. Cardamom tastes like bergamot, lemon and camphor. The pods are dried after harvesting and then become matt green in colour. They are 1.5 to 2 cm long.
