green cardamom

Chai tea essential

Green cardamom is a spice made from the dried seed pods of a plant native to South Asia.

The small green pods contain aromatic black seeds with an intense, slightly sweet flavor used in South Asian cooking and Middle Eastern coffee.

It's distinguished from black cardamom, which is larger, smokier, and used differently.

The recipe called for three green cardamom pods, lightly crushed.
