Whole cardamom pods are used in savory Indian and Middle Eastern recipes. Cardamom is used in its ground form in both Middle Eastern and Scandinavian baked goods. Since cardamom loses flavor quickly once ground, it is often preferable to buy the long-storing whole pods and grind only the amount needed for a recipe. While cardamom is indigenous to India, today much of it is commercially grown in Central America. Our cardamom comes to us from Tamil Nadu in India, which produces the world’s best cardamom. Ingredients: Green cardamom pods.

My husband has a very severe peanut and tree nut allergy so I was extremely excited to find whole cardamom pods that were not processed on shared equipment with nuts for once! So far I've made 2 batches of cardamom buns with these pods and the heavenly aroma of citrus really comes through. Would highly recommend!
I add a couple of these green cardamom pods into my coffee grinder. It adds a special flavor that I look foward to every morning.
Aside from Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, my favorite use of green cardamom pods is to make chai masala. Every morning.
These are the best I’ve found online!!!
Food52, one of my favorite food sites, has a number of recipes calling for cardamom. I have a favorite cake recipe from the site, and the pods I ordered were fresh, making access to getting to seeds quite easy. And of course, the cake was great!
