Cardamom is a spice that comes from the seeds of plants of the genus Elettaria or Amomum, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae (like ginger). It is used in cooking and traditional medicine in many cultures, particularly in South Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean region.
Cardamom seeds are contained in green or brown pods, and can be used whole, split open to extract the seeds, or ground into a powder. They are often used to flavor desserts, beverages such as coffee or tea, and in savory dishes such as curries, stews or marinades.
In addition to its culinary uses, cardamom is also known for its medicinal properties, including improving digestion, relieving stomach pain and aiding breathing. It is also sometimes used for its freshening effects on the breath.
