Green Cardamom

Green Cardamom, a prized spice that originates from the verdant hills of the Indian subcontinent and Guatemala's lush landscapes. Our Green Cardamom is harvested at the pinnacle of freshness, where each pod is a treasure trove of flavor, encapsulating a world of culinary possibilities. Esteemed for its captivating aroma and complex flavor, Green Cardamom stands as a testament to the allure of exotic spices.

Green Cardamom is a versatile culinary jewel, renowned for its distinctive sweet, spicy flavor with hints of eucalyptus and lemon. It is an essential ingredient in a variety of dishes, from the spiced masalas of Indian cuisine to the fragrant pastries of Scandinavian baking. Whether ground into spice blends or used whole in stews and rice dishes, Green Cardamom imparts a uniquely warm and aromatic character that is both invigorating and comforting.

Upon opening a container of our Green Cardamom, you are greeted with its intoxicating aroma, an exquisite prelude to the depth of flavor it brings to any dish. The vibrant green pods promise to not only enliven your recipes but also to transport your senses to distant lands where these flavors are woven into the fabric of the culture.

How to use it

Crush two or three whole pods in a mortar and add them to chai as the water comes to the boil, or to a rice pilau, kheer and Scandinavian sweet dough. For baking, split the pods and grind only the black seeds inside, where about six pods give a quarter teaspoon of ground spice. Whole pods go into savoury braises and are lifted out at the end. Technique tip: grind only what a recipe needs, since ground cardamom loses most of its perfume within a couple of weeks while sealed whole pods hold it for a year.
