Overview of Cardamom
Cardamom is a highly aromatic spice that comes from the seeds of various plants in the ginger family. It is native to India and Indonesia but is widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world. Known as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom is used in a variety of culinary dishes, beverages, and even traditional medicine. It has a warm, spicy-sweet flavor with hints of citrus, making it a versatile spice in both sweet and savory dishes.
