Heera Black Cardamom – 20x50g

Description

Heera Black Cardamom: large, smoky pods that add a deep, resinous warmth quite different from green cardamom.

Black cardamom is a whole spice from Heera. 20X50G means twenty 50g packs in a case, so you can open one and keep the rest sealed for freshness. The pods are dried over open flames, which gives them their signature smoky aroma. They are bolder and earthier than the familiar green variety.

Key Features

• Whole black cardamom pods with a smoky, bold, warming aroma.
• Twenty 50g packs per case, easy to portion across a kitchen or hold in reserve.
• Long shelf life as a whole spice when kept sealed and dry.
• A key note in garam masala, rich curries and slow cooked meat dishes.
• Distinct from green cardamom, offering depth rather than sweet floral notes.

Cooking and Uses: add whole pods to curries, biryani, pulao rice and slow braises for a smoky background warmth. They suit robust meat dishes, dals and stocks, and are often bruised lightly to release the aroma before cooking. Remove the whole pods before serving, or grind the inner seeds for spice blends. Use sparingly, as the flavour is strong. Storage: keep in a cool, dry place in a sealed container away from light. Allergens: a single spice with no common allergens expected, though you should always check the pack. For full allergen and dietary information, always refer to the product packaging.
