Whole Black Cardamom Pods, Our dried Black Cardamom Pods are sourced from a family farm in Nepal and can be used whole, crushed, or ground in a wide variety of dishes. Central to South Asian and Indian cooking, black cardamom has a deep, smoky flavor.
Flavorful Black Cardamom, Distinct from green cardamom, black pods have a deep, smoky flavor with notes of cinnamon and clove that are best extracted through long stewing. Long cook times release complex flavor and oils, enlivening curry or stew.
Versatile Spice, Black cardamom can be used as a whole spice, slightly crushed, powdered, or seeded and then used as crushed seeds. It is a popular ingredient with Indian spices and pairs well with cumin, mustard, bay leaves and dry chili peppers.
Allergen-Free, We work directly with farmers and never add preservatives, artificial flavorings, or fillers to our 100% organic spices. Burma Spice Black Cardamom Pods are vegan, kosher-certified, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and allergy-tested.
Gourmet Exotic Spices, We meticulously source all of our spices through our Florida-based Burma Spice shop to ensure optimal flavor, quality, and freshness. We’re confident that you’ll love our spices as much as we do.
We've found the best Black Cardamom pods available and packed them fresh. One of the biggest problems afflicting commercially available black cardamoms is age and over dehydration. We've made sure than we supply the freshest for you. Black Cardamom is the dried fruit of plants of the ginger family. Although, it shares part of the name and some similar flavor notes with its green cousin, Black Cardamom is a lot bolder and smokier than Green Cardamom. The fruits of the cardamom plant are dried over an open fire, which lends the smoky aroma to this spice. Alongside the menthol and minty aromas, are notes of resin and camphor. These intense, heady notes put black cardamom in the "hot" spice category, along with black pepper, cloves, and chiles. It's a major component of the spice blend garam masala, which literally means "hot spice mixture." Black Cardamom is most suited for hearty meat stews, dry rubs, sauces for braised meat and more. The seeds can be extracted from the pods and added directly to the dish (strong flavor), ground up and added (very strong flavor) or added directly while still within the pods (mild flavor).
