Often referred to as the queen of spices, cardamom reigns supreme in authentic Indian dishes like curries and masalas, but it's also used worldwide to bump up the flavor of beverages, pastries, rice dishes, meat, poultry, and more. Cardamon requires plenty of rain and shade to grow, making the higher elevation on the outskirts of the Knuckles Mountain Range in Sri Lanka an ideal match—one that also protects the biodiversity of this stunningly beautiful area. When ready for harvest, the pods are hand-picked, carefully dried, and sorted by hand according to size, weight, and color.
Interesting to note: Whole pods can be chewed after spicy meals to cleanse the breath.

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.
