message: Just out of interest, can cardamom be eaten raw? I think the answer is yes, but I believe that this is a spice from the ginger family that is more commonly eaten cooked. ACEO 15:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Couldn't agree more. Turks do not mix substances other than sugar and water with coffee. Not even milk, let alone exotic spices. I believe the word Turkey should be removed from that sentence.--Eleman (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree with Eleman and 128.208.27.157. Not only the Turks do not mix these kind of spices, but they also do not like people who do it, :) 72.49.127.115 (talk) 16:38, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Black Cardamom in Australia? Here in Australia it's virtually impossible to track down, even in Indian grocery stores and never available in supermarkets. Perhaps there are plants of the Amomum genus that grow wild in Australia, but cardamom isn't one of them. --MichaelGG (talk) 02:07, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is it grown? 

message: I have "The Book of Spices" by Alain Stella, a coffee-table format where the lighting in the photography seemed to matter more than the clarity of the prose.  It states "Good cardamom can be identified from the condition of these capsules, which must be tightly shut and green or green-amber in color, but never grayish."  
My own cardamom jar is full of capsules that are paper dry and beginning to split.  Many are green, some are a bleached yellow that could potentially be described as "grayish".  They were purchased not long ago from the local Indian specialty store, which mostly sells Hanif's and Teja brands.  
Some of the pods have dark seeds inside as expected, but many  of the pods have grayish seeds inside.  What does it signify if the seeds are grayish?  Was my cardamom a bad batch, or is discoloration of the seeds a common condition, and how much does it impact quality?  Or perhaps the pods were picked too green and these seeds are not completely ripe?  MaxEnt 14:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality 

message: I did not see this article mention that cardamom is the world's third most expensive spice, or at least has traditionally been so, coming only after first-place saffron and second-place vanilla. If any one knows a good source for this information, could he or she put in a reference and add this information? Many thanks, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Expensive spice (in third place)

message: Biting one of these seeds creates a cacophony of symptoms only equatable to that of a violent hangover. It will completely mess up your tastebuds, nauseate you, and give you and instant headache. What so-called flavour could it possibly add to food? Please won't somebody elaborate in the article about it's flavour and origins?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.247.71.214 (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I seem to have found on the web it cures headaches not create them. I think it is probably allergic reactions if i see something ill post back Ottawa4ever (talk) 20:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Here's a reference for the medicinal section (I don't know how to do any proper editing around here, just drop in links from time to time).  I would think the Kew Gardens should be a sufficiently reliable source on all things botanical:

message: Before any one says that I have not added a source for my claim about cardamom growing in southern India but now being grown in other parts of the world such as Sri Lanka, I saw it in a book I was browsing in Waterstone's one day (I am pretty sure that the book was by Sophie Grigson.

thread_title: "(which I wasn't able to verify)"

message: "This could be derived - and some books state so - from the adjective amomos [ἄμωμος] "blameless, without reproach"; given, however, that amomos is a regional and poetic form, this may be less probable than (what other books state) the derivation from Aramaic hemama, which was not able to be verified"
effectively nothing is known about the derivation of this word so why confuse people?  The sentence is very tedious  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.250.100 (talk) 06:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

message: What is all this 'cardamom' business? I've never seen it spelt 'cardamom' or 'cardamum' until I went on then internet just now and found the world had gone insane. Is this a prank? Because it seems to be spreading around the internet. There are lots of websites talking about cardamom. I'm worried everything is going down the toilet.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.134.169 (talk) 01:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
