Cardamom, also known as cardamon, was a type of nut that was dried and ground to be used as spice across the eastern[2] and southern edges of Faerûn,[1] as well as the continent of Zakhara.[4][3]
Availability[]
Cardamom was a valuable trade commodity moved across the Hordelands.[2] The city of Hafayah in northern Zakhara was a major exporter of cardamom.[3]
Cardamom was sold via Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, in both the Wizards' Laboratory and Aurora's Larder sections. It was priced at a single gold piece per ounce.[5]
Usages[]
Cardamom, along with allspice, mace, and fine sugar, was used to dust a Halruaan fried treat called the hangman's noose.[1] In the city of Tajar, which was part of the Pearl Cities, roasted pork was cooked with cardamom at the Golden Oasis eatery.[4]
