Green cardamom pods are smoother. The flavor can be harsh at times. In rubs and spice combinations like garam masala, or in rustic Indian goat stews with ginger, black pepper, and chiles. Cardamom is a fan of buttery pound cakes and chocolate sweets.
Guatemala, Vietnam, and India grow black cardamom. Initially regarded as a poor alternative for green cardamom, it has recently (in spice terms) come to be prized for its unique flavor.
