Whole Green Cardamom Pods — Extra Large 14 oz Aromatic Spice
Product description
The information below is per-pack only.
Our premium whole green cardamom is an extra-fancy, jumbo-quality spice selected for full aroma and flavor. Each 14-ounce pouch contains Grade A pods — large, intact hulls that protect the tiny seeds inside. The product is all-natural and suitable for vegan diets.
Cardamom comes from the fruit of a tropical plant and produces a sweet, floral scent unique to the variety. These pods are sourced from Guatemala, where plants flower for a limited season and the fruit must be harvested when about three-quarters ripe to capture ideal taste. After picking, the pods are gently washed and slow-dried to preserve their essential oils and fragrance.
Inside each pod are the dark, aromatic seeds commonly used whole, crushed, or ground. Use them to uplift coffee and tea (try in masala chai), sweet and savory baked goods, rice dishes, and traditional Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian recipes. Lightly crushing releases the oils; whole pods can be steeped in liquids or toasted briefly to enhance depth of flavor.
This extra-large bag offers good value and keeps the spice on hand for frequent cooking and brewing. The package is designed to maintain freshness and make portioning simple, so you can enjoy cardamom in many culinary applications.
