Cardamom is picked by hand every few weeks through the season, then cured in wood-fired drying rooms for around eighteen hours. Slow curing keeps the pod green and the oils in the seed.
We sell 7 mm and above. Smaller pods are cheaper but carry far fewer seeds for their weight.

What cooks wrote back
Entry 01
The garam masala smells like my grandmother's kitchen. I use half of what I used to and the dal tastes fuller.
Entry 02
Ordered the pepper cracked on a Monday and the tin said it was ground on Tuesday. You can tell the moment you open it.
Entry 03
Proper saffron, deep red with no yellow bits. Ten threads coloured a whole pot of kheer.
