because they have a high content of fiber and important proteins. They are rich in nutrients and are considered one of the best vegetable protein sources. | Black cardamom is used as a spice in a similar way
to the green cardamom, but the taste differs considerably. In contrast to green cardamom, black cardamom is rarely used in desserts.
