Ground cardamom is made from the inner seeds of the green cardamom pod. It's used in savory Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, but is also an essential spice in chai, and is seen in recipes for sweet Scandinavian breads. Cardamom has an herbal flavor reminiscent of eucalyptus, menthol, and pepper. Add this to your warm spice collection alongside cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
