Whole Cardamom 50g

Whole green cardamom. Intensely aromatic and essential in Indian cooking.

Our Whole Green Cardamom (elaichi) pods are sourced for their aroma and flavour. Crack one open and you'll find sticky black seeds with a sweet, floral, slightly citrusy warmth that makes chai, biryani and kheer taste like home. No synthetic additives.

How to use it

• Chai: Lightly crush 2–3 pods and boil with the tea leaves.
• Rice and biryani: Add whole pods to hot ghee with bay leaf and cinnamon before the rice.
• Desserts: Grind the seeds with a little sugar for kheer, halwa, laddoos, cakes and cookies.
• Spice blends: Toast and grind into garam masala or chai masala.

Tip: Whole pods keep their aroma much longer than ground cardamom, so grind only what you need.

Ingredients

100% whole green cardamom pods.

Allergen and safety guidance

Single-ingredient spice. Remove whole pods before serving, or let diners know they're there, as they're unpleasant to bite into and a small choking risk for young children.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Whole pods stay aromatic for up to a year.
