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 a fragrant spice found in a lot of dishes from around the world, including Indian dishes and Swedish meatballs. The spice is usually sold either in whole pod form or ground. There are only a few substitutes for cardamom, and the substitutes will not produce the same flavor as the spice itself.'ve substituted nutmeg and cinnamon for cardamom in the past with some success. But cardamom is a very unique spice with a unique flavor and some recipes are just not right without it. I love cardamom in milk desserts, especially rice pudding and ice cream. It's also great in tea and coffee.
