Green cardamom has a strong, sweet, pungent flavor and aroma, with hints of lemon and mint, that is often used in Indian, Middle Eastern and other world cuisines.
Green cardamom is often used in the preparation of Indian dishes such as curries, biryani rice, drinks, desserts and aromatic teas. It can also be used to season bread, cakes, ice cream or sauces.
When using green cardamom, it is recommended that the seeds be removed from the pods and ground before adding to recipes.
