Cardamom Green, Whole Pods

Green Cardamom Pods have an unmistakably sharp, fruity flavour with warm lemon notes. These pods are the quintessential flavour within Middle Eastern and Indian cooking, used in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Sometimes also known as “true cardamom”, Green Cardamom is native to the Western Ghats of southern India, but is now widely cultivated in other countries, including Guatemala, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka. Green cardamom is believed to have many health benefits, including improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting brain function. Unsurprisingly, it’s a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamins C and B6, as well as fiber and iron.

Cardamom pods are made up of two components: the seeds and the husk that protects the seeds. The seeds are available in whole and ground forms and are the source of cardamom’s characteristic aroma. Try adding to sweet and spicy curries or into the pan when cooking rice. You could even lightly crush to release flavour and add to a Gin and Tonic to infuse smoky and citrus flavours!
