What is green cardamom?
Green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a spice grown notably in India, Guatemala and Sri Lanka; the one sold here comes from India. Each pod contains small black seeds with an aroma that is both minty and lemony, fresher than black cardamom, a different species with a smokier scent.
How to use it?
Lightly crush a few pods before adding them to coffee, tea or hot milk, for an aroma that infuses without excess bitterness. In cooking, drop them whole into a curry, spiced rice or a stew at the start of cooking, then remove them before serving. You can also extract the black seeds and crush them for a homemade spice blend.
What to pair it with?
It complements SAMIA cinnamon sticks and SAMIA garam masala in curries and simmered dishes. Find all the spices in the Moroccan and Maghrebi cuisine department.
