Cardamom, one of the oldest spices, originates in India. Today, it is an essential ingredient in many Middle Eastern, Indian, African and even Scandinavian cuisines. These small greenish-colored pods have a distinctive lemony, flowery aroma and a warm, bittersweet, fruity flavor.
To get the maximum flavor from these pods, bruise them slightly to break the pods. Green cardamom is the base for several desserts and drinks, as well as savory cuisines.
