Lanxangia tsaoko, formerly Amomum tsao-ko, and also known as black cardamom, is a ginger-like plant known in English by the transliterated Chinese name (Chinese: 草果; pinyin: cǎoguǒ; Jyutping: cou2 gwo2; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: chháu-kó). It grows at high altitudes in Yunnan,[2] as well as the northern highlands of Vietnam.[3] Both wild and cultivated plants are used medicinally and also in cooking.[2] The dried fruit of the plant has a pungent, gingery taste.[4]
