Use some in an apple pie or pastry. The green seed pods of the plant are dried and the seeds inside the pod are used in Indian and Asian cooking. Also used in northern European countries such as in the Finnish sweetbread pulla or the Scandinavian bread Julekake.
Green cardamom is one of the most expensive spices by weight, but little is needed to impart the flavor. Cardamom is best stored in pod form because once the seeds are exposed or ground they quickly lose their flavor.

Zone 9 with some protection. Otherwise, zones 10 - 11. Will usually flower and fruit under tropical conditions.
