1. Product description Cardamoms (or cardamon) is a tropical plant of the ginger family Zingiberaceae. The spice refers to a range of plants in the Elettaria (small cardamom) and Amomum (large cardamom) genera. Both types are imported to Europe. Small Cardamoms , Elettaria cardamomum Maton, is often referred to as the ‘Queen of Spices’. Its pods are small with a light green colour. Black or large cardamom, Amomum subulatum, is recognised by larger pods of a dark brown colour. Guatemala and India are the main Cardamoms for export and import producers worldwide. Guatemala only produces small cardamom, while India produces both types. Other producing countries are Nepal, Indonesia, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Laos, Bhutan and Malaysia, and there are other smaller producers. Ethiopia produces Korerima (known as Ethopian Cardamoms for export and import or false cardamom), whose botanical name is Aframomum corrorima; its seeds are black or brown. Cardamoms for export and import is one of the world’s most expensive spices, surpassed only by saffron and vanilla.
