Organic cardamom | seeds | whole

What it is / Product description

Biova organic cardamom consists of whole brown seeds with a warm, spicy, slightly lemony aroma. The natural cardamom seeds are gently dried and offered in bulk for professional kitchens. Visually, they appear as brown chunks or whole seeds that lend both sweet and savory dishes an aromatic depth.

Thanks to the whole grain size, the essential oils in the organic cardamom remain protected for a long time, so the spice stays aromatically stable even during longer storage. Biova relies on carefully selected batches in certified organic quality and does not use any additives. The seeds are batch-tested, cleaned and packed in food-safe bulk containers with a net filling weight of approx. 1.05 kg per unit.

In the kitchen, organic cardamom can be used in many ways – from pastries and desserts to curries and rice dishes, as well as tea and coffee specialties. Depending on the application, the whole seeds can be lightly crushed in a mortar, coarsely ground or cooked whole. This allows you to use the intense cardamom aroma in a targeted way for everyday dishes and special moments of indulgence.

Origin

The cardamom seeds come from selected tropical growing regions with high humidity and nutrient-rich soils. These conditions promote the development of the typical essential aroma with warm and fresh notes. Biova places great importance on transparent supply chains and consistently high raw material quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic cardamom is cultivated according to ecological guidelines without synthetic pesticides. The capsule fruits are harvested by hand at the optimal stage of ripeness and gently dried. The seeds are then sorted, cleaned and packed as bulk goods in food-safe units.

Special features

Characteristic are the brown color and the whole grain size, which allow flexible dosing. Compared to ground cardamom, the essential oils in the whole seeds are preserved for longer, which protects the aroma. Regular batch checks ensure moisture content, purity and aroma intensity.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region, cardamom seeds can vary in size, color and aroma profile. Altitude and microclimate influence the balance of sweetness, spiciness and freshness. The type of drying – for example sun-dried or air-dried – also shapes the fine nuances of the spice.

Taste & smell

The whole cardamom seeds display a warm, spicy and slightly sweet flavor profile with fresh, lemony accents. The essential bouquet in the aroma is reminiscent of citrus, eucalyptus and fine herbs. When crushed or ground, the aroma unfolds particularly intensely.

Possible applications

• For flavoring coffee, tea, chai or hot chocolate with freshly crushed cardamom seeds.
