Green Cardamom

EverydayDried

Green cardamom is a premium aromatic spice derived from the dried seed pods of the Elettaria cardamomum plant, native to Southern India. These small, green pods contain tiny black seeds that offer an intense, sweet-spicy flavor with distinctive notes of mint and eucalyptus, making it a prized ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. The pods are typically used whole in Indian cuisine and Middle Eastern coffee preparation, while the ground seeds are common in Scandinavian baking and spice blends.
