Cardamom is native to the tropical rainforests of south India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Sumatra; it is now also grown in Nepal, Thailand and Central America.
Elettaria subulatum (the usual type of cardamom) is used as a spice, a masticatory and in medicine; it is also sometimes smoked; it is used as a food plant by the larva of the moth Endoclita hosei.
Ground cardamom is an ingredient in many Indian curries, and is a primary contributor to the flavour of masala chai.
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a pungent aromatic spice belonging to the Zingiberaceae family.
Cardamom was first used around 700 CE and was imported to Europe for the first time in around 1200.
Blackcardamom (Amomum subulatum and related species) also of the Zingiberaceae, is used in the same way as the green Indian variety, but with a different flavor.
