[Sca-cooks] Green cardamom?

[Ana Valdes]

In Middle East cardamom is added to the coffe when it's cooked
"turkish style" or "arabic style".
In Sweden the bakeries baking bread with old recipes make wonderful
kex with cardamom and saffron, really a delicacy.

To this recipe I've added more flavorings: sauteed onions, a bit of garlic, fresh parsley, and cubebs. I am wondering if a little green cardamom would be a welcome addition.
