Cardamom Green, Whole Seeds

Green Cardamom Seeds are wonderfully aromatic with a sharp, smoky flavour and warm citrus notes. The sought-after seeds have chameleon like qualities because they can be adapted within sweet and savoury foods.

Interestingly, Green cardamom seeds are considered one of the most popular spices in the world. They’re used in a wide range of cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, and Nordic. They’re a key ingredient in many traditional dishes, such as masala chai in India, and are also used to flavour sweets, such as baklava, in the Middle East. The flavour of green cardamom seeds is delicate, so they’re often used in small quantities for cooking. Best practice would be to add them to dishes towards the end of the cooking process, as heat can cause the flavour to fade.

The seeds are highly concentrated and impart a distinctive and powerful flavour within rice dishes. This is an essential spice when making Indian and Middle Eastern dishes such as biryanis, masalas and roasted lamb.
