Cardamom is a versatile spice known for its sweet, herbal flavor with hints of pine. Originating from India, it has a rich history of use globally. In ancient times, its seeds were used as a form of dental care in Egypt and later as a perfume in Greece and Rome. Cardamom found its way to Scandinavia, possibly through Viking exploration or Moorish influence. Today, it is primarily grown in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Guatemala.
