With a rich, earthy, smoky aroma, our Black Cardamom Pods - offered in whole and ground form - are a key ingredient in the warming blend of Garam Masala, which is used to enhance the taste of a variety of north Indian curries. That warming, complex flavor also pairs well with beef, especially in slow cooked stews and soups.
While Black Cardamom is more often used in savory dishes, its complexity of flavor isn’t truly appreciated until it is mixed into something sweet. Try adding the smoky spice into a blend for chai tea, or into coffee beans for a warming twist to your morning cup.
