Cardamom seed
Cardamom seed is a fragrant spice that comes from the seeds of plants in the ginger family. These small, aromatic seeds have a slightly sweet and floral flavour, which can add depth to a variety of dishes.
The seeds are harvested from the cardamom plant and then dried to preserve their flavour and aroma. Once dried, they can be used whole or ground into a powder. Cardamom seeds are commonly used in both sweet and savoury dishes, such as curries, desserts, and even hot drinks like chai tea.
Cardamom seed is a popular ingredient in many cuisines due to its unique and versatile flavour profile. It is often used to add warmth and complexity to dishes, as well as a hint of sweetness. You may find cardamom seed listed on food labels of products like spice blends, baked goods, and even some meat dishes.
