Green Cardamom Elaichi

Green cardamom, known as elaichi in many South Asian cuisines, is a fragrant spice made from the small seed pods of the cardamom plant. Each pod contains tiny black seeds with a strong, aromatic flavor that’s both sweet and spicy, with hints of citrus and mint. It is widely used in both sweet and savory dishes, from curries and rice dishes to teas, desserts, and baked goods. Valued not only for its unique taste but also for its digestive and antioxidant properties, green cardamom is a staple in kitchens and traditional medicine around the world.
