He grows cardamom ginger but in this climate no flowers, so no pods but still luxuriant plants. He often uses ginger roots for cooking but has never used the rhizomes of this ginger. Does anyone know if cardamom ginger can be used in cooking? And as the leaves are wonderfully fragrant does anyone know if they'd be useful for steaming, say, chicken or fish?
