Whole Green Cardamom

Fox’s Spices Whole Green Cardamom 450g offers a fragrant, aromatic spice prized for its sweet, floral and slightly menthol flavour. Each pod contains small, flavour-packed seeds that release their full aroma when lightly crushed or warmed during cooking. Whole cardamom is a versatile ingredient used in both sweet and savoury dishes, from curries and rice to cakes, pastries and warm drinks. This generous 450g pack provides excellent value for kitchens that rely on cardamom’s distinctive flavour in spice blends, marinades, baking or infusion-based recipes. Whether simmered in sauces or added to desserts, whole cardamom brings depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes.

Key Features:

  • Whole green cardamom pods with a naturally sweet, floral aroma.
  • Ideal for curries, rice dishes, desserts and spiced drinks.
  • Pods keep flavour locked in until crushed or cooked.
  • Suitable for grinding, infusing or direct use in cooking.
  • Large 450g pack ideal for regular or large-batch recipe preparation.

Usage Ideas:

  • Simmer pods in curries, biryanis or rice dishes for gentle aromatic warmth.
  • Crush lightly and add to cakes, buns or sweet pastries.
  • Infuse into milk for custards, chai, rice pudding or ice cream bases.
  • Incorporate into homemade spice mixes, marinades or mulled drinks.

Why use whole cardamom instead of ground cardamom?

Whole cardamom retains its essential oils far longer than ground versions. Crushing or opening the pods just before use releases fresh, vibrant aroma, giving dishes a noticeably fuller, more balanced flavour.

How should whole cardamom be prepared before cooking?

Most recipes call for the pods to be lightly crushed or split to expose the seeds. This helps the flavour infuse more effectively into liquids, sauces or doughs while still being easy to remove if needed.

What dishes traditionally rely on green cardamom?

Green cardamom is widely used in both Middle Eastern and South Asian cooking. It is essential in dishes such as biryani, kheer, chai, spiced cakes and festive desserts where warm, delicate fragrance is key to the overall flavour.
