Green Cardamom Pods in a Refill Bag for Steeping Chai and Rice or Grinding Fresh for Baking Dough
Green cardamom pods bring a floral aroma with eucalyptus and citrus notes to chai, rice and brewed coffee. Lightly crush a pod before steeping to release its aromatic oils; the fragrance is stronger than the taste, so a little goes a long way.
For baking, grind the pods yourself with a mortar and pestle to create a coarser texture that leaves pockets of cardamom flavor throughout dough. The husk helps the pods keep longer than ground cardamom, making them a practical pantry choice for occasional use. This cardamom comes in a refill bag.
