Black Cardamom Pods 3.5 Oz Bag (100gm) | Whole Kali Elaichi Indian Spice by Spicy World

These are packed very well. Have a great aroma when the pod is opened and the freshness mates with whatever your are cooking. I use them with Basmati Rice, just one pod in the rice while it's cooking will give off a very pleasant aroma and the taste of the rice is out of this world.

I like the taste and it has many health benefits

I had never heard of this spice, but a cookie recipe (http://www.reclaimingprovincial.com/2013/11/29/smoky-cardamom-ginger-molasses-cookies-a-giveaway/) called for "black cardamom". I was pleasantly surprised when I started using it. Like "green" cardamom, a little goes a long way. The flavor is very different, however. The black cardamom has a distinct smoky aroma which I find very pleasant. It does a good job of infusing it's flavor into sugar.You should probably refrigerate the pods in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Some of these seem a little old, but they are still tasty. May have been sitting on a shelf for a while, but I'm happy. It's very difficult to find black cardamom pods in the U.S. These are one of my favorite spices to cook with. Great for traditional Indian cooking.

Super fresh! Smell was amazing opening the bag. The flavor was perfect in my curry. The 4-star is not having its own zip lock, but that might be harsh and I can't only take off a half star.

My first black cardamom ...the pods are huge and the smoky smell is wonderful. I totally love these! Can’t wait to add to my yogi tea mixture!

100% recommended. Incredible flavor and great quality. Black cardamom is the secret and most important ingredient in Garam Masala

Great quality. Enjoy the scent and the packaging is well done - I didn’t have to move these to another container.
