Why we picked it

We like it in its whole form: the pod protects the aromatic seeds until the moment of use, and the aroma is released when you crush it or when you grind the seeds. It is an intense, versatile spice, easy to use in coffee, chai, rice or desserts.

About the product

Green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) belongs to the ginger family and is a species native to southern India. The cardamom we sell comes from India. Under the thin, fibrous green husk lie small, dark seeds, full of aromatic oils that give cardamom its intense character. Because it is sold whole, you can crush the pods or grind the seeds just before use.

Taste and aroma

Tasting notes

An intense, warm and slightly sweet aroma, with citrus notes and a cooling freshness that is reminiscent of eucalyptus.

How to use it

  • Lightly crush the pods before use and add them to rice, pilaf, curry or stews; the whole pods can be removed before serving.
  • In coffee and chai, lightly crushed pods can be infused together with the other ingredients for a warm, citrusy aroma.
  • In lentil dishes or sauces such as raita, cardamom adds a distinct aromatic note.
  • For desserts and sweet doughs, open the pod and grind the seeds just before use.

Storage

Keep the pods in a tightly closed container, somewhere dry, dark and away from heat. Keeping them whole helps protect the aromatic compounds; open the pods and grind the seeds only when you need them.

Keep somewhere dry and dark. Whole spices (seeds, sticks) hold their aroma far longer than ground ones.
