Organic Cardamom Pods Black (cardamom pods)

Regular price

Our Organic Cardamom Pods Black (cardamom pods) differ from most standard green cardamom by being traditionally dried over flames. This process preserves some of the delicate flavors of the spice while delivering a symphony of smoky flavor and fragrance into the pods.

Independent 3rd Party Certifications: Organic, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Kosher, Vegan

Using at Home
Simply remove the inner seed and process it into a fine powder using a spice grinder, then use it how you would ground cardamom.

Black cardamom flavors lean heavily in the direction of savory making it ideal for braises, stews, and any other dish that can benefit from a layer of smoky, mouth-watering flavor.

One irresistible usage is creating a rub for your next grill session by combing the spiciness of ground ginger and the heat of chili peppers with the unique deliciousness of cardamom.

It can be used to treat sores in the mouth, teeth, and gums as well as soreness of the throat.

Benefits

The whole seeds, instead of ground seeds, allow the potency of the spices flavor and fragrance to be preserved.
