Green cardamom, also known as Chhoti Elaichi, is a highly aromatic spice prized for its sweet, floral fragrance and warm, slightly citrusy flavor. The small green pods contain tiny black seeds that release a rich aroma when crushed. Widely used in both sweet and savory dishes, green cardamom enhances curries, biryanis, desserts, teas, and coffees. Known as the “Queen of Spices,” it adds elegance and depth to culinary creations while offering digestive and antioxidant benefits.
