It is also known by the names, Bengal Cardamom, Hill Cardamom, Indian Cardamom, Greater Cardamom, Winged Cardamom, Nepal Cardamom and Brown Cardamom. Its aroma is similar to that of camphor or mint and is mostly used in savoury dishes rather than sweet or salty dishes. The fruit is round or oval shaped capsule with reddish brown colour.

Large Cardamom is being produced since Ancient times and is native to the Sikkim Himalayan Region. It has a pleasant unique aromatic odour, due to which it is commonly used as a flavouring spice in India in the preparation of curries, soups, sausages and meat.
