Description
The Cardamom plant is native to South East Asia and is known as one of the most expensive spices in the world, behind Vanilla and Saffron! The Cardamom Pod comes in three colours, green, black and white with green being the most common. The flavour profile of this spice is quite complex with a piney, fruity and fennel-like aroma. Each peanut-sized pod contains between 8-16 seeds.
