Botany

Cardamom, also known as green or true cardamom is a herbaceous perennial plant in Zingiberaceae (Ginger) family. It is native to Southern India, but many countries such as China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and others in tropical regions have naturalized it and now cultivate it extensively.

Typically, the plant grows with an average height of 2-4 meters with alternate leaves in two ranks, white to lilac violet flowers, and three-sided yellow-green fruit pods (cardamom). The fruit pods contain 15 to 20 tiny black or brown seeds. People use dried green pods in tea, coffee, cuisines, and desserts.

Cardamom pods and seeds are known for their intense sweet-spicy aroma and taste. The cardamom essential oil manufacturers distill the pods and seeds to derive a thin clear oil with a spicy, woody, rich, and sweet fragrance. The oil is an excellent amalgamation of fragrance, flavor, and medicinal properties governed by its constituents such as 1,8-cineole, linalyl acetate, linalool, a-terpinyl acetate, and limonene. It possesses antispasmodic, digestive, expectorant, antiseptic, and stimulant properties.
