Green cardamom vs black cardamom same spice, totally different vibes
Cardamom is a fragrant spice made from the seed pods of plants in the ginger family. It’s used in both sweet and savory foods think desserts, chai, curries, and rice dishes.
I like green cardamom for cooking baking teas and drinks while I like black cardamom for skin care, oil, infusions, butter, and hair oil.
