Black Cardamom from VLC Spices
Black cardamom is a distinctive spice revered for its bold, smoky aroma and earthy flavor. Known scientifically as Amomum subulatum, it plays an essential role in traditional Indian, Tibetan, and Chinese cuisines, enriching preparations such as curries, stews, and rice dishes with its complex warmth. Its slightly smoky, aromatic profile differentiates it from green cardamom and makes it a sought-after ingredient among food manufacturers and herbal product brands.
