Whole Black Cardamom

Black cardamom pods bring a deep, smoky aroma with earthy, resinous notes and a subtle camphor edge. Larger and more robust than green cardamom, they add weight and backbone to slow-cooked dishes.

Best used whole in braises, curries, stews, and rice dishes, where the pods can simmer and infuse gradually. Remove before serving for layered, savory depth without sweetness.
