The bold, complex taste works exceptionally well in savory dishes, curries, rice preparations, and traditional masalas. Beyond culinary applications, black cardamom has been valued in Ayurvedic medicine for digestive and respiratory support. Each pod delivers concentrated flavor, making it economical for regular use.
