Cardamom

ORIGIN: The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu

₹195  |  25 G

Green cardamom pods, up to 3.5 centimetres in height, from the forests of the Western Ghats.

You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.

Crush the pods lightly and add them to kheer, chai, or desserts. You can also use them whole in rice dishes like biryani or pulao. Since it has a strong flavour, use it with restraint at first, and then build up  depending on how pronounced you want the flavour.

Farmers in the Western Ghats handpick each cardamom pod to ensure high quality.

Last Forest showcases agro-ecological produce and crafts from Tamil Nadu’s indigenous communities: Kurumbas, Irulas, Todas, and Badagas. They work directly with a collective of tribal producers and farmers to traditionally forage food in a way that does not harm the ecosystem.
