Properties of Green Cardamom:
Green Cardamom comes from an herb related to ginger, Elettaria, which grows in India and Malaysia. Cardamom is used to add flavor to food and drink, as spice when cooking, and for medicinal purposes. Some species of cardamom have been an important cash crop for many poor farmers in China, Laos and Vietnam. Nepal was formerly the world's largest producer of cardamom but has recently been overtaken by Guatemala.
How to use Green Cardamom:
Green Cardamom is best stored in pod form due to the seeds for flavor after being exposed or ground. Ten pods equal roughly the same quantity as one and one-half teaspoons ground cardamom. Some cooks prefer to grind the pods containing the seeds, while others open the pods and use only the seeds. Some experimenting may be fun. A coffee or spice grinder can be used on whole pods or seeds, and a mortar and pestle can be used on seeds alone.

And organic as well.
Below are ideas to use them in coffee or tea. There is no need to grind the pods or seeds in order to use them in coffee or tea.
Coffee: This idea came from a Persian friend. Using a french press, add some pods (about 2 per cup) to the bottom of the pot along with the ground coffee. The pods should be pierced open but add both the seeds and the pod itself. Then continue as you would have without the cardamom. Pour in boiling water. Steep as you would normally. Press and enjoy. With or without milk and with or without sugar. Your choice. If you use a french press and like cardamom you may never make coffee without cardamom again.
Tea (Chai): Pierce open about 2 pods per cup of tea (or more or less to taste) and place in a pot. Using a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part cows milk or unflavored soy milk and add to pot. Add either black tea bags (for most people that would be one per cup: I like strong tea so I use 2 per cup) or 1 teaspoon loose black tea per cup. Simmer for about 3 or 4 minutes. Strain into cups and add sugar to taste. For me that is about 1/2 teaspoon for a cup. For most people that would be about 2 teaspoons for a cup.
You should vary these rough recipes to your own taste as the variations could be endless. But enjoy these very fine cardamom pods!
I don't know the differences between different types, but this was cheaper than the pre-crushed spice jar at my local grocery store. Not only is it organic, but I imagine it is much fresher. I don't have a hyper-sensitive sense of smell or taste, but I could smell this cardamom, even before I opened the shipping pouch. It comes packed in a thick, plastic, resealable bag. When I opened it and buried my nose in the bag, I was struck by a strong menthol aroma. Sharp, fresh, minty-citrus. I insisted that my husband smell it (before I commented on my opinion of it), he described it as STRONG, bitter, citrus.
I cooked the tart a day after I received it; the menthol/citrus aroma really accentuated the blood oranges and complimented the sweetness in the layers. This stuff seems VERY FRESH and BRIGHT. I can't wait to find other uses for it!
A little goes a long way!
