Cardamom (/ËkÉrdÉmÉm/), sometimes called cardamon (mostly in the UK) , is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to India, the largest producer until the late 20th century; Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Nepal, and Pakistan.
Cardamom is available for purchase in several forms, including whole pods, whole seeds without pods, and crushed or ground seeds. Cardamom still housed in the pod retains much more of its flavor and aroma than cardamom that has been removed from the pod.ardamom is the seed of the Elettaria and Amomum plant. The small black seeds are surrounded by a pod with a papery thin skin that can be white, green, or dark brown/black in color. The flavor and scent of cardamom is floral and slightly citrusy in flavor, with black cardamom being slightly on the smoky side.
