Cardamom

Cardamom is a fragrant, spice derived from the seeds of several plants in the Zingiberaceae family. Known for its aromatic, slightly sweet, and spicy flavor, it is commonly used in cooking, baking, and beverages. It is often found in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines, adding depth to both savory dishes and desserts. Cardamom comes in two main varieties: green and black, with green cardamom being more common and prized for its mild and sweet taste.
