It grows wild in the highland forests of Ethiopia. The large, plump, reddish-brown to dark brown pods contain bigger seeds than green cardamom, with an earthy, resinous character. Despite the name, this is not a variety of green cardamom. It is a different spice with its own deep roots in Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKorarima is usually sold as loose, pre-shelled seeds.
