Cardamond

Cardamond also known as  Kapulaga in Indonesia, is different in shape from the green cardamom. Cardamond is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. They are recognized by their small seed pods, triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small black seeds. Cardamond is often used as spices (seasonings) to a particular cuisine and also to mixtures of herbs or traditional herbal medicines. There are two kinds of cardamond that is used widely in Indonesia, namely cardamond Java (Amomum compactum) and cardamond opposite or Indian cardamond (Elettaria cardamomum).

Usage:

Green and Black cardamond are used as flavorings and cooking spices in both food and drink, and as a medicine. E. cardamomum (green cardamond) is used as a spice, a masticatory, and in medicine; it is also smoked.
