Cardamom Seed: Frontier Co-op Organic Decorticated Cardamom Seed comes from the cardamom plant (Elettaria cardamomum). Cardamom is considered to be one of the world’s oldest spices. It is often called the 'queen of spices' alongside the 'king of spices', black pepper. Tasty Benefits: Cardamom was used in ancient Egypt for both sweet and savory recipes. It has a sweet and spicy flavor that awakens the appetite. It also compliments other spices like ginger, cloves, anise, and fennel. Sweet And Aromatic: Frontier Co-op Organic Decorticated Cardamom Seed contains no seed pods. It is aromatic with an intense, slightly sweet-and-spicy flavor that works great with potatoes, beans, meat dishes, curry, bread, tea, coffee, and more! Organic From Guatemala: Our cardamom is sourced directly from Guatemala. It is certified organic, kosher and non-irradiated. No artificial additives or chemicals are used at any stage of growing or manufacturing.
