Cardamom, a versatile spice with a rich history, has captivated cultures and cuisines for centuries. Its story begins in 1735 when Elizabeth Blackwell immortalized the cardamon plant with its seedpod through her intricate line engraving featured in her book A Curious Herbal published in London. Found predominantly in Asia, specifically Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains within Botum Sakor National Park, this aromatic spice continues to thrive. An aerial shot showcases kayaks peacefully gliding along the Preak Tachan river near the eco-luxury retreat Tented Camp ecolodge. The lush green leaves of round China cardamom, scientifically known as Amomum globosum Lour, add vibrancy to this region's landscape. In Dubai's Spice Souk at Deira, United Arab Emirates, colorful spices including it can proudly displayed.
