Cardamom

Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice from the ginger family, known as the “queen of spices.” It consists of the dried seed pods of plants like Elettaria cardamomum (green cardamom), featuring a warm, sweet, pungent flavor with citrusy, minty, and eucalyptus notes. Widely used in South Asian curries, Scandinavian pastries, teas, and spice blends like garam masala, it adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes.
