Description
Cardamom is the dried, unripened fruit of the perennial Elettaria
cardamomum. Enclosed in the fruit pods are tiny, brown, aromatic seeds
which are slightly pungent to taste. Cardamom pods are generally green
but are also available in bleached white pod form. It is available
both in the whole pod and as decorticated seeds with the outer hull
removed.
Uses
Cardamom is used in Danish pastries, Saudi Arabian, North African,
Asian, and Indian cooking and in spice blends such as garam masala,
curry powder, and berbere.
Origins
Whole Cardamom pods come from India while the decorticated seeds are
imported from Guatemala. Two varieties are indigenous to India but
are also cultivated in Guatemala and Sri Lanka. Indian Cardamom is
considered to be of premium quality. The Malabar type, rounded in
shape, has a pleasantly mellow flavor generally regarded as superior.
The Mysore type, ribbed and three cornered, has a slightly harsher
flavor but retains its green color longer.
Folklore
Throughout the Arab world, Cardamom is one of the most popular spices,
with Cardamom coffee being a symbol of hospitality and prestige. The
spice is also very popular in the Scandinavian countries where it
is used more extensively than cinnamon.
