cardamom

“ Customers have expressed high satisfaction with the aromatic and flavorful cardamom seeds from Selefina, highlighting their freshness and the intense flavor that enhances a variety of dishes and beverages. Many have ventured beyond traditional use, incorporating the seeds into hot chocolate, teas (notably masala chai), and coffee, as well as experimenting with them in holiday baking, including Pfeffernusse cookies and cardamom-infused desserts. The seeds' ability to impart a rich, citrusy, and floral note to both sweet and savory recipes—such as curry and basmati rice—has been praised. The versatility, quality, and potent fragrance of these cardamom seeds make them a valuable addition to any kitchen, with users noting that a little goes a long way, suggesting their long-lasting nature. ”

“ The cardamom pods from Selefina were a first for me as I had never seen them whole before and had only used ground cardamom. I used them to make the Hot Chocolate Infused with cardamom and Rose recipe, and oh my was it good. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his cup of hot chocolate and said I could make it any time I want to...that is his way of giving something I make a five star review. Since the whole pod was such a rousing success, I am looking forward to using the decorticated cardamom seeds rather than ground cardamom in my recipes so I can enjoy the fresh flavor. These seeds are so very fresh and flavorful...a little goes a long way. ”

“ Cardamom can be a strong spice, so a little goes a long way. That's true for these seeds. They add a fresh and powerful boost of cardamom flavor to a cup of plain black tea or even coffee. So far, that's as adventurous as I've been with these, but I'm looking forward to grinding them to use in some holiday baking this year. ”

“ These cardamom seeds are very aromatic when you open the pinch jar (which I also love), and the taste is strong and flavorful. Because it has such an intense flavor, a little goes a long way. The quality of these are far superior to other store bought cardamom seeds I've tried. ”

“ These lovelies smell amazing! These seem perfect to add into a lovely cup of tea. I may use some to round out Turmeric Bliss and see how that goes. ”

“ I have only used cardamom a few times but, when I do, I always wonder why I don't use it more often. The seeds may not last as long as the pods but the seeds from Selefina were fresh, richly aromatic and filled with flavor. Loved that they were ready to grind and worked perfectly in making spicy, delicious Pfeffernusse cookies. ”
