Thai cardamom, also known as Siam cardamom, is a fragrant spice with a sweet, citrusy aroma and a warm, slightly camphorous flavor. Smaller and milder than Indian green cardamom, it is widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially in Thai curries, soups, and desserts. The spice adds depth and brightness to both savory and sweet dishes, blending beautifully with coconut milk, lemongrass, and galangal. Valued for its aromatic and digestive properties, Thai cardamom brings a delicate, exotic touch to traditional and modern recipes alike.
