Description

Green cardamom are the aromatic seeds of a plant native to Southern India and Sri Lanka. This small capsule-shaped fruit contains internal black seeds that have a fresh, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor, with citrusy and minty notes, making them an essential ingredient in numerous culinary preparations.

Its use is widespread in the cuisines of the Middle East, India, Latin America, and the Caribbean, where it adds an intense and exotic aroma to both sweet and savory dishes, from curries, rice, and stews to desserts, beverages, and spiced coffees.

The properties of green cardamom are not only related to taste. It is also known for its digestive benefits, its ability to freshen breath, and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish used in different regions of Latin America, green cardamom may be known simply as "cardamom", although in some places it is referred to as "mazamorra" or "sweet cardamom".
