Question: what is the difference between black and green cardamom pods?
Answer: The pods of the black cardamom are harvested much later and are also dried over large fire pits. In the case of green cardamom, both the pod and the seeds are used for flavouring. ... The green cardamom has a very strong and intense aroma and flavour, while the black cardamom has a smoky and vaguely camphor-like flavour.
