Organic green cardamom seeds whole, brown

Product description

Discover Biova organic green cardamom as whole, brown seeds with a warm, spicy and slightly lemony aroma. These natural cardamom seeds are gently dried and are ideal in catering-size packs for professional kitchens and high-volume spice use.

Because the seeds are kept whole, the essential oils in the organic green cardamom remain protected for longer, helping to preserve a stable flavour intensity when stored correctly. Biova relies on certified organic quality, careful lot selection and gentle cleaning without additives.

In your kitchen, the whole seeds are extremely versatile – from pastries and desserts to curries and rice dishes, as well as speciality coffees and teas. Depending on your needs, the cardamom seeds can be lightly crushed in a mortar, coarsely ground or cooked whole.

Origin

The organic cardamom seeds come from Honduras, where the tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils create ideal conditions for this spice. This origin supports a pronounced essential aroma with warm spice and fresh citrus notes.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Organic green cardamom is grown according to organic standards without synthetic crop protection agents. The capsule fruits are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness, gently dried, sorted and packed in food-grade bulk containers of around 1.05 kg.

Special features

Typical are the brown colour and whole seeds, which allow flexible dosing in the kitchen. Compared with ground cardamom, the essential oils in the whole seeds are preserved for longer; regular lot checks at Biova ensure purity, moisture content and flavour profile.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region, cardamom seeds can vary in size, colour and flavour profile. Factors such as altitude, microclimate and drying method – for example sun-drying or air-drying – influence the balance of sweetness, spice and fresh, lemony nuances.

Taste & aroma

The whole cardamom seeds offer a warm, spicy and slightly sweet flavour profile with fine citrus and herbal notes. The essential bouquet on the nose is reminiscent of citrus, eucalyptus and clove; when crushed or ground, the aroma becomes particularly intense.

Suggested uses

• To flavour coffee, espresso, tea, chai or hot chocolate with freshly crushed cardamom seeds.
