Whole Cardamom - The Scent of Fresh Baking
Nothing beats the smell of freshly crushed cardamom seeds. By buying whole cardamom instead of pre-ground, you ensure that the volatile oils providing the amazing flavor remain encapsulated until you are ready to use them. This is the "secret" behind the world's best wheat buns, but cardamom is also a key ingredient in many Indian stews, chai tea, and even coffee.

Tip: For the ultimate taste experience, open the green pods, remove the small black seeds, and crush them in a mortar right before adding them to the dough. The difference from pre-ground is enormous! You can steep the empty pods in milk for cocoa or chai.

FAQ
Should I use the whole pod?
In stews and rice, you can use whole pods (remember to remove them before serving, or eat around them). For baking, you should remove the green husk and only crush the black seeds inside.
Why choose whole over ground?
Cardamom loses its flavor very quickly after grinding. Whole pods preserve the flavor for years if stored correctly and provide a much fresher and more intense taste experience.
Is it hard to crush?
No, a mortar does the job in seconds. If you don't have a mortar, you can put the seeds in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pot.
