Cardamom is said to be the queen of spices. It is a perennial herb with thick, fleshy rhizomes or underground stems, shooting leaf roots and white or pale green tree-celled flowers. The flowers produce green husklike pod capsules that contain seeds. The seeds are small black and sticky. Cardamom is commercially used as the dried fruit of Elettaria Cardamom. |

Cardamom Plant | ||
Cardamom is a perennial herb that can reach a height of between 2 to almost 6 m. The sword shaped leaves of the plant are dark green in colour which are about 2 inches long. The small, yellowish flowers grow in loose racemes on prostrate flower stems. The fruit has 3 chambers filled with small aromatic seeds, each about 3 mm long. It is better to store the fruit in pod form, because once the seeds are exposed or ground, they quickly lose their flavour. |
