Crack them open to release the seeds before using ‚ the floral, citrusy fragrance is dramatically more intense than pre-ground. Essential for chai, rice dishes, and Indian sweets, and extraordinary added to coffee grounds before brewing. A true workhorse of Middle Eastern and South Asian kitchens.

About This Blend

Wild cardamom has grown in the rainforest understory of Kerala's Cardamom Hills for at least 2,000 years, long before cultivation began. Today Guatemala leads global production, but Indian-grown cardamom retains its reputation for intensity and aromatic complexity.

Flavor Profile

One of the most complex spices in the world by volatile oil profile, green cardamom pods lock in freshness until the moment you crack them ‚ the whole-pod form serious spice cooks always choose.

How To Use

Crack pods lightly against a cutting board before adding to chai, rice dishes, or braising liquids.Remove whole pods before serving ‚ they deliver flavor and are then discarded.Use whole in biryanis, tagines, and Middle Eastern rice pilafs for floral warmth throughout.
