Cardamom plants have tall, 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. The plants can be grown from seeds or by dividing established plants. Fruits are typically picked individually when nearly ripe, although sometimes the entire cluster is harvested at once.

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 spindle shape, covered in a thin papery outer layer with small black seeds. The Elettaria species has smaller, light green pods. When air-dried, the pods are typically green, but may appear pure white if bleached with steam or sulfur before drying.

Cardamom's distinctive sweet and pungent flavor has been incorporated into various cuisines worldwide. In its native India, it is a key component of curries and curry powders, as well as being used in rice, vegetable, and meat dishes, and sweet desserts. The spice is also traditionally used to flavor coffee and tea in the Middle East and Turkey. In Europe and America, cardamom is often featured in gingerbread and sweet baked goods. Scandinavians have a particular fondness 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.
