Ground cardamom

Description

Cardamom originated in Southern India and is now most widely grown in Guatemala. Its seed pods are harvested, each containing aromatic, pungent seeds. Before use, it’s best to lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan (just don’t burn them!) and then crush them in a mortar or grind them in a coffee grinder; this releases the essential oils better, allowing you to fully enjoy the magic and mildly spicy flavor of cardamom.

USAGE: Cardamom seed is a staple spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Cardamom is an ideal spice for desserts, gingerbread dough, mulled wine, coffee, and other beverages.
