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.
Etymology[edit] The word cardamom is derived from the Latin cardamomum, which is the Latinisation of the Greek ÎºÎ±ÏÎ´Î¬Î¼ÏÎ¼Î¿Î½ (kardamomon), a compound of ÎºÎ¬ÏÎ´Î±Î¼Î¿Î½ (kardamon), cress + á¼Î¼ÏÎ¼Î¿Î½ (amomon), which was probably the name for a kind of Indian spice plant.
