Black cardamom is considered a “heating” spice. Therefore, it is an important ingredient in combination with cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper in any garam masala. Black cardamom is much stronger than green cardamom, with a bold, resinous, and smoky flavor. It is used to give depth to masalas and tandoori-style spice mixtures. Black cardamom is used in India in spicy and rustic dishes and in western Asia in savory dishes. This spice is also used to season pickles.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
