Cardamom Pods, Green

A fruit native to India, green cardamom pods have been used in sweet and savory cooking for thousands of years throughout India, Asia, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. However, they are now harvested in Cambodia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Mexico and Vietnam as well. Regardless, Indian Green Cardamom Pods still rain superior in quality and flavor to other varieties. Green Cardamom pods consist of outer layer with tiny inner seeds full of intense flavor. They are preferred by both chefs and serious home cooks. Top quality cardamom is harvested while still immature and sun-dried to preserve its bright green color. Whole pods have a superior ability to retain their flavor and aroma for a long time. Stored in a glass jar, whole pods will last for years. In ground form, cardamom is ideally used for baking where powdered texture is preferred. Try our Black Cardamom Pods as well, which are bigger, tougher and more pungent in flavor.
