What Exactly Is Cardamom And What Does It Actually Taste Like

If you watch cooking shows regularly, you get a pretty good idea as to what ingredients are trendy at the moment. A lot of chefs will include a bit of cardamom in their recipes, so you’ve probably wondered what all the fuss is about. The spice has been used for thousands of years, but what does it taste like, and how much do you need to use? Actually, there are multiple kinds of cardamom, and each is quite different, so there’s a lot to learn. Let’s take a look at the details of what exactly cardamom is and what it tastes like.

People keep saying cardamom is citrusy but I don't see it. To me, cardamom tastes like a more earthy ginger (it's in the ginger family) and has a slightly sweet flavor, but otherwise it has a flavor all its own. It goes well in baked goods for the same reason and ginger does, it complements toasted, charred, and caramelized flavors really well.

One of my favourite smells in the world. If I could find a cologne that smelled of pure cardamom I’d buy a huge bottle.

I just started using “Pumpkin Pie Spice” on my oatmeal and coffee. One of the ingredients is cardamom. Which lead me to this video. I didn’t want to wait till September for pumpkin everything!

Oh, I love it with coffee or infused with chocolate truffle.

I am from Finland and for me it feels absurd that people wouldn't know what cardamom is. My late grandma put it in almost everything she made. Ginger on the other hand was a mystery for me as a child and suddenly it's everywhere. :D

Oh my, now that I tasted cardamom, I had the impression they have a slight lemon taste to them but mostly of mint, and may help with Inflammation like bursitis (maybe).

One of the ingredients in coconut wine 🍷 is cardamom. I bought green cardamom and it came from witches herbal, which also says not for human consumption.
What kind of cardamom do I use

[midnighto]

I'm hoping they dont high up the price. as a Central Asian I love this shit, seeing it getting "Hip cool" will make me so upset

[lucderepentigny]

hi, i bought ground decorticated cardamom (Powder), do i have to filter it to drink in hot water or not ?

If you don't use it in anything I feel sorry for you and Asian shops are cheaper for it than supermarkets
