    Related to ginger, cardamom is a layered flavor that combines spiciness, a strong lemony tang and a bit of mint. The use to which it is put and amount used will affect how it tastes. It is considered a "warming" spice. The best flavor comes from grinding fresh cardamom pods rather than using already ground spice.
