No pods to crack, no papery shells to fish out of the rice. Green cardamom seeds are the whole seeds with the husk already removed, so the fragrant part is all you get. Stir them into simmering chai and biryani, crush them into a spice blend, or grind them fresh for cakes and sweet rolls. The floral, cooling aroma people love in cardamom sits entirely in these little black seeds.
Because the seeds stay whole, the essential oils hold until you crush or grind them. That makes this the middle path: more ready than a pod you have to break open, more aromatic and longer-keeping than pre-ground powder. We hull and pack the seeds in Portland and leave them whole, so you grind only what a recipe needs.
In Indian cooking, decorticated cardamom seeds (elaichi) go straight into rice, milk puddings, and masala chai without the step of picking out pods. The same seeds bring a clean, floral note to Western baking, ground fine for buns, custards, and spiced cookies.
Single ingredient: green cardamom seeds. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.
Common Questions
What is the difference between cardamom seeds and pods?
What is the difference between cardamom seeds and pods?
The pod is the outer green husk, which has little flavor and gets discarded. These are the seeds from inside that husk, already removed for you, so there is no cracking and no straining.
How do I grind cardamom seeds?
How do I grind cardamom seeds?
Grind them in a spice grinder or crush them in a mortar and pestle right before using. A short grind gives a coarse, aromatic crumble for chai. A longer grind makes a fine powder for baking.
How many pods do these seeds replace?
How many pods do these seeds replace?
Roughly ten to twelve pods yield about a teaspoon of seeds. When a recipe calls for whole pods and you have seeds, use the seeds directly and skip the cracking step.
How should I store the seeds?
How should I store the seeds?
Keep them in an airtight jar away from light and heat, and grind only what you need. Whole seeds hold their aroma much longer than ground cardamom.
