Black Cardamom is 4-6 times the size of the common small cardamom
Its flavor, aroma, and other qualities are quite different from small cardamom
Especially, it has a distinctly more astringent aroma, though not bitter, with coolness similar to mint
In India, black cardamom is preferred in spicy dishes, wherein it is used liberally
Whole cardamon like the ones in this listing are preferred as stocking cardamom powder for too long leads to loss of flavor
