Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Cardamom pods are carefully harvested from cardamom plants when they are fully ripe and have developed their distinct flavor. The pods contain small black seeds that are the part used to make ground cardamom.
Drying: After harvesting, the cardamom pods are dried to reduce their moisture content. This step helps preserve the flavor and aroma of the cardamom.
Dehusking: Once the cardamom pods are completely dry, the outer husks are removed to reveal the small black seeds inside. The seeds are the part used to make ground cardamom powder.
Grinding: The dried cardamom seeds are then ground into a fine powder.
And you have your Ground Cardamom!
