Black cardamom is used as a spice in a similar way to the green cardamom, but the taste differs considerably. In contrast to green cardamom, black cardamom is rarely used in desserts. Its tart, earthy aroma, reminiscent of softwood and camphor, and its smoky taste are due to the traditional drying over an open fire. The spice is mostly used in hearty meat dishes.
