The cardamom tree, also known as Elateria cardamomum, is a perennial plant.It is mainly grown in South Asia and Southeast Asian countries.

The plant grows primarily from an underground rhizome and bears fruit from its branches. Cardamom fruit is small, green, and divided into three chambers. Each chamber contains small black seeds, which provide the actual aromatic component. These cardamom seeds are used as a spice.
