Green Cardamom Pods
*Our small batch of green cardamom pods from the last harvest is now sold out. We will restock in September. Unfortunately, harvesting in Sri Lanka has been affected by the pandemic and has caused delays to our shipments. We're sorry for the long wait! Please do sign up above to be notified when we restock and check out our ground green cardamom.
Not surprisingly called the "Queen of Spices" for its intense floral flavor, green cardamom is a rarer spice. In Sri Lanka, small farmers grow heirloom green cardamom in small quantities. We source this fresh whole cardamom in small batches from a farmer collective until their harvest runs out.
Tasting notes of honey and summer flowers.
