Premium Organic Green Cardamom Pods

Organic green cardamom pods have such a powerful, fragrant scent. If you have visited India the smell will transport you straight back to the chai tea sellers and vibrant spice markets.

Other than in Indian chai, cardamon pods are also used for Middle Eastern coffee and Scandinavian baking. The flavour comes from the seeds inside each pod. Bruising the pods before cooking releases their fragrance, adding depth to rice, meats, and desserts.

Cardamom lends itself to sweet and savoury dishes and is a key flavour in our organic garam masala.

Our Organic Cardamom pods are dried using warm air and no other chemical processes take place. They are high in Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron as well as containing a whopping 28% of your manganese requirements in a single teaspoon.

The benefits of cardamom pods and seeds include:

  • A flexible spice for both food and drinks.
  • Works well in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes.
  • Aids digestion and helps soothe bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort.
  • Boosts immunity, as it contains natural compounds that may help fight infections.

Family Tip:

  1. A great way to use cardamom is a home creation of chai tea. Simply put cardamom, cloves and peppercorns in a large pestle and mortar and grind to a course powder. Put the spices in a pan with a spoonful of coconut oil and warm for a few minutes and then add your milk of choice!
  2. Cardamom can make a fragrant addition to curries.
  3. We love using cardamom in baking, its unique taste goes well with sweet dishes.
  4. Rice pudding is so much better with organic cardamom added.
