Organic Black Cardamom Seeds

All About Organic Black Cardamom Seeds:

Our organic black cardamom seeds are decorticated, which means they have been taken out of the pod for you and are ready to grind, toast or scatter with no prep. They have a deep, warming flavour that is subtly smoky and resinous, with balsamic, woody, camphor-like notes that soften and turn floral as they dry.

Pod-free seeds are a favourite for anyone who blends their own masalas or likes to grind cardamom fresh. You get more usable spice per gram and a quicker route from jar to pan.

Cardamom has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional medicine. The seeds are a natural source of calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, plus plant compounds with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Instructions for Use:

Toast the seeds gently and grind them fresh for homemade garam masala and spice blends, or add them whole to rice, lentils, vegetable dishes and slow-cooked curries. They are also a traditional way to flavour tea and coffee.

Storage Instructions:

Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.

Packaging Details:

Eco Friendly 100% Recyclable Packaging. Re-sealable pouch for Long Lasting Freshness!

FAQ

What are black cardamom seeds? They are the seeds taken out of black cardamom pods (decorticated), so there is no pod to crush or throw away. That makes them handy for grinding fresh and for spice blends.

What do black cardamom seeds taste like? Strong, warm and aromatic, with a smoky, resinous, slightly camphor-like character. They are balsamic and woody at first, turning more floral as they dry.

How do I use cardamom seeds? Toast and grind them for homemade garam masala and curry blends, or add them whole to rice, lentils, vegetables and slow-cooked dishes. They flavour tea and coffee well too.

Are cardamom seeds better than pods? It depends on what you are after. Seeds skip the podding step and give you more usable spice per gram, which is why blenders and batch cooks like them. Pods keep their flavour locked in longer for storage.
