Gregg's Ground Cardamom
Cardamom is native to India and Sri Lanka and thrives in shady
monsoon forests. It is the dried, unripened fruit of a ginger-like
perennial.
Cardamom is warm and aromatic, similar to camphor and
eucalyptus, with astringent properties.
The spice is particularly good in sweet recipes and is suited to
cakes and biscuits, fruits such as mangoes, and milk or rice
puddings.
Cardamom is often used in Indian masala blends, particularly in
chicken dishes.
