Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between green and black cardamom?

Green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum)  has a fresh, sweet and highly aromatic profile with notes of citrus and eucalyptus, and black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) is dried over open flames, giving it a bold, smoky and earthy flavour.

Should I buy whole green cardamom pods or ground cardamom?

Always choose whole green cardamom pods if you want the best flavour and shelf life. Whole pods keep the organic cardamom seeds and distinct aroma protected inside.

How do I use whole green cardamom pods in cooking?

For slow-cooked dishes like curries, stews, or rice, add whole pods directly to the pot; simply bruise or crack the pods slightly with the flat of a knife to release the aromatic oils. For baking, desserts or smoothies, gently split the pod open, extract the small dark seeds and grind them using a mortar and pestle.

Can you eat the outer green shell of the cardamom pod?

The outer green husk is fibrous and does not soften during cooking, so it is generally not eaten. As an option, you could remove the pod before serving.

How should I store my organic cardamom pods to keep them fresh?

Buy wholesale organic cardamom and store your pods in an airtight glass jar or container in a cool, dark, and dry place—such as a pantry cupboard away from direct sunlight and stove heat.
