Cardamom Spice related FAQs
Where is your green cardamom sourced from?
Our green cardamom is sourced from our own farm in Idukki, Kerala. We stay close to the source, so we know where the cardamom comes from and how it is handled. Each batch is selected for its fresh aroma, natural green colour, and warm sweet flavour.
How can I use green cardamom in daily cooking?
Green cardamom is very useful in both daily and festive cooking. You can add it to tea, payasam, biryani, sweets, curries, and homemade spice blends. For better aroma, lightly crush the pods before adding them to your recipe.
Why should I choose whole cardamom instead of cardamom powder?
Whole cardamom keeps its natural aroma for a longer time compared to ready-made powder. When you crush or grind the pods fresh, the flavour is stronger and cleaner. It also gives you better control over how much cardamom taste you want in your dish.
How should I store green cardamom?
Store green cardamom in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, as these can reduce its aroma. It is best to take only the required quantity while cooking and close the container properly after use.
What does green cardamom add to food?
Green cardamom adds a warm aroma, gentle sweetness, and fresh flavour to food. It can make simple tea smell better, add richness to payasam, and bring depth to biryani and curries. A small amount is enough to make the dish feel more special.
