Cardamom, Whole Seeds
Cardamom is a popular flavor in Indian curries, Middle Eastern stews and rice dishes, and Scandinavian baking. Since black cardamom seeds lose flavor quickly once ground, many people prefer to buy whole cardamom seeds and grind only the amount needed for a recipe. These seeds have been conveniently decorticated, making them easy to grind in a mortar and pestle or spice mill.
