Cardamom (/ˈkɑːrdəməm/[1]), sometimes cardamon or cardamum,[2] is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae.[3] Both genera are native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. They are recognized by their small seed pods: triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small, black seeds; Elettaria pods are light green and smaller, while Amomum pods are larger and dark brown.
Species used for cardamom are native throughout tropical and subtropical Asia. The first references to cardamom are found in Sumer, and in Ayurveda.[4] In the 21st century, it is cultivated mainly in India, Indonesia, and Guatemala.[4]
