Iliki

Iliki (kwa Kiingereza: Cardamon) ni kiungo cha chakula kinachotokana na mbegu za mimea ya jenasi Elettaria na Amomum katika familia ya Zingiberaceae. Mbegu za eletteria ni nyeupe-kijani, na zile za amomum ni kubwa na nyeusi-kahawia.
Asili ya mimea inapatikana huko Uhindi na Indonesia lakini tangu mwanzo wa karne ya 20 imelimwa nchini Guatemala ambayo kwa sasa ni nchi inayouza iliki nyingi duniani.
