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