Black Cardamom Pods

Black Cardamom are the seed pods of the Amomum subulatum plant. Perhaps not as famous as Green Cardamom pods, the black version has an altogether different flavour. The taste is warming and rich, with some saying it imparts a flavour almost akin to smoky bacon to dishes. They are popular across India and Africa, adding a wonderful depth to many dishes and are perfect for vegetable recipes. The pods can also go into blends such as Garam Masala to add more layers of complexity.

Black Cardamom Pods are great in rice and dal dishes. Try grating some over roast vegetables (sweet veg such as carrots, sweet potato and sweet pumpkins work very well!). This is a great ingredient to get creative with in the kitchen too. Why not try grinding and adding some to homemade burgers, nut roasts and more. Black Cardamom goes very well in Indian side dishes and street foods such as samosas and onion bhajis.

We also have Green Cardamom Pods, Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds and many more flavourful ingredients on our site. As with all herbs and spices, add a little at a time to get the flavour you want. You can always add more, but taking it out can be impossible!

PLEASE NOTE – Prices of Black Cardamom have spiked recently due to the the difficulty obtaining a high quality spice. At The Spice Cupboard, we prefer to offer the best we can find and not the lower quality versions just to satisfy price. These pods are fragrant and impart great flavours and have been tested for 117 different pesticides and chemicals.  We’ll always review prices as they change to remain as competitive as we can be!

 

Always be sure to read the labels before consumption. Suitable for vegetarian, vegan and kosher recipes.
