Cardamom refers to several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the ginger family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan; they are known for their small seed pods, triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery shell and small black seeds inside. Guatemala, where the German coffee plantation owner Oscar Majus Kloeffer introduced Indian cardamom before World War I, has become the largest producer and exporter of cardamom in the world, followed by India. Some other countries, such as Sri Lanka, have also begun to cultivate it. Elettaria pods are light green, while Amomum pods are larger and dark brown.

It is the world’s third most expensive spice, surpassed only by saffron and vanilla in terms of price by weight.

Latin name: Zingiberaceae Elettaria.
