Overview

Black cardamom, also known as "badi elaichi" in Indian cuisine, is a spice with large, wrinkled pods that produce a strong, smoky aroma and a flavor profile with notes of camphor and citrus, often described as a pungent, warm, and slightly sweet taste; it belongs to the ginger family and is primarily used in savory dishes due to its intense flavor, typically dried over an open flame which contributes to its distinct smoky quality; the main producing regions are Nepal, India, and Bhutan, with the scientific name "Amomum subulatum" being the most common species used in Indian cooking.

Product Description

It develops in a pod on the herbaceous plants from the Zingiberaceae (ginger) family. The pods are about an inch long, with a thick, wrinkled, dry exterior that contains tiny, sticky, dark-coloured seeds. Black cardamom has a strong flavour of citrus and eucalyptus and a strong fragrance.
