Cardamom Pods Green 25g Organic - Quick Reference
What is it?: Certified organic green cardamom whole green pods, from the aromatic seed pods of Elettaria cardamomum.
Flavour: Sweet, floral and citrusy, with eucalyptus-like freshness and a gently peppery finish.
Common uses: Curries, rice dishes, masala chai, baking, desserts, coffee, ice cream and spice blends.
How to use: Lightly crush the pods to release the seeds, simmer in the dish, then remove the fibrous shells before serving.
Compare with: Green cardamom is sweeter and brighter than black cardamom, which is smoky and mainly savoury.
Substitute: Whole pods or loose seeds can replace powder after grinding; use black cardamom only when smokiness is wanted.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sealed to protect the aroma and flavour.
Good to know: Cardamom aroma comes from volatile oils, so whole pods keep their flavour longer than pre-ground spice.
