Our cardamom is sweet and tart, reminiscent of summer fruits, fresh herbs and cut grass. The cardamom fruit turns yellow as it ripens and has a slightly softer, sweeter flavor than standard green cardamom, but is perfect in recipes that call for green cardamom. This ground cardamom is made from whole pods ground into a coarse powder, which has the added benefit of thickening dishes, thanks to the cardamom pod's husk.  You may need to grind it further into a finer powder texture if it's not going to go through a long cooking process (like with baked goods). Cooking Tips: Cook down with fruit juice for a savory/sweet sauce or jam Add to your meat or veggie rub, especially for chicken or lamb Use in cakes, muffins, pastries and other desserts Sprinkle over oatmeal or into smoothies
