Prized for the sweet, yet pungent aroma it infuses into dishes, green cardamom is a staple in the Indian and Middle Eastern Cuisines and common in Scandinavian pastries. Each pod is individually harvested, dried, and ground to a fine powder. Green cardamom is used for savory meat and rice dishes, as well as sweets like ice cream, cookies, and puddings. It is an important component of Chai spice blend and Garam Masala and is used in Arabic coffee.

Recipe to Try:

For an invigorating cardamom iced coffee, combine cold-brewed coffee, ice, your choice of sweetener, milk, and Spicy Organic cardamom powder. Shake or stir and enjoy. (Note: Use store-bought cold brew or make your own by mixing ¼ cup of ground coffee beans with 2 cups of filtered water and leaving them in the fridge overnight. Strain well before use.)

Key Features:

·         Cardamom powder is perfect for making homemade caramels, as well as in any breakfast smoothies.
