Description
Starwest Botanicals Organic Decorticated Cardamom Seeds deliver the pure, intense flavor of premium green cardamom in convenient seed form. These certified organic seeds have been carefully decorticated, meaning the outer pods have been removed to reveal the aromatic black seeds within. This process concentrates the essential oils and provides more potent flavor than whole pods. Sourced from sustainable farms in Guatemala, these cardamom seeds offer the sweet, citrusy, and slightly spicy notes that make cardamom one of the world's most prized spices. Perfect for both sweet and savory applications, from traditional chai blends and Scandinavian pastries to Middle Eastern rice dishes and Indian curries. The 1-pound bulk size is ideal for serious home cooks, professional chefs, or those who use cardamom regularly in their cooking. Starwest Botanicals has been a trusted name in organic herbs and spices for over 45 years, ensuring quality, purity, and freshness. These seeds can be ground fresh as needed or used whole in slow-cooking applications for maximum flavor impact.
Suggested Use
Grind seeds in spice grinder or mortar and pestle just before use for maximum potency. Use 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom per cup of liquid in beverages, or 1/2 teaspoon per pound of flour in baking. Store in airtight container away from light and heat.
