ingredient in Middle Eastern and Arabic foods, cardamom has also gained popularity in the west.

Vanilla, are more expensive. The main reason this spice is so expensive is because it needs to be harvested by hand. It is

Each cardamom pod must be picked when it is about 3⁄4 ripe so time and care are needed to yield this spice.
