Ceylon Cardamom

Cardamom comes from the seeds of several different plants that belong to the same family as ginger.
It has a distinctive flavor that complements both sweet and savory dishes. People may use cardamom seeds and pods in curries, desserts, and meat dishes, as well as in beverages, such as coffee and chai tea.Cardamom pods are spindle-shaped and have a triangular cross-section. The pods contain a number of seeds, which are small and black, while the pods differ in colour and size by
species. Cardamom is generally available in the form of whole fruit as a primary product, in-ground form as secondary processed products and also in the form of extractions of oil and oleoresin as value-added products. In Sri Lanka the light green cardamom variety (Elettaria cardamomom) is found, which is one of the most expensive spices by weight and referred to as Ceylon Cardamon.
