Cardamom — Fresh vivid-green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) pods clustered on the living plant at a shaded plantation in Kumily, Idukki district, Kerala, India — photographed 21 March 2025. Not a Tanzania-specific photograph; Tanzanian cardamom cultivation is real but concentrated in small East Usambara smallholdings and no open-licensed photograph of it could be verified, so this replaces the network's prior jar/product-shot placeholder with a genuine, high-resolution photograph of the correct species, honestly labelled as illustrative rather than Tanzania-specific.
