Amomum subulatum is a perennial herb of the eastern Himalayas (Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, northeast India). Larger and darker seeds than green cardamon, with a smokier note from traditional fire-drying.
Family Zingiberaceae. Same family but different genus from green cardamon (Elettaria cardamomum).
In Indian cuisine the two cardamons serve different roles, green for desserts and drinks, black for curries and savory masalas.
Limited availability. 1,8-Cineole content is very high (61.3 percent), higher than green cardamon and close to eucalyptus oil.
