Cardamom plants have erect stems with broad leaves and horizontal flowering stems that produce clusters of white and pink flowers near ground level. Cultivated cardamom has the same characteristics as wild cardamom. Seeds or division can be used to propagate the plant. Fruits are typically handpicked when nearly ripe, either individually or in their entire cluster.

Here is the rewritten text: Cardamom fruits are small and nearly ripe, containing many dark brown seeds. They can be identified by their seed pods, which have a triangular cross-section and a spindle shape, with a thin papery outer covering and small black seeds. The pods of Elettaria cardamomum are typically light green and smaller than those of other species. When air-dried, the fruits appear green, but may turn pure white if bleached with steam or sulfur before drying.

Cardamom's distinctive flavor has been incorporated into various cuisines worldwide. In India, it is a key component of curries and curry powders. It's also commonly used in rice, vegetable, and meat dishes, as well as sweet treats. The seeds are traditionally added to Arabian coffee and Turkish tea. In Europe and America, cardamom is a staple in gingerbread and sweet baked goods. Scandinavians have a particular affinity for cardamom, using it extensively in confectionery, desserts, fruit preserves, mulled wines, meat dishes, and sausages.

Cardamom is one of the most expensive spices globally, ranking behind vanilla and saffron in terms of cost per unit. However, a small amount is sufficient to add distinct flavor.
