You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
Its unique lemon and mint undertones make it a perfect pick for Indian sweets. To extract as much flavour as possible, peel the pods and grind the seeds. The pods can be used to boil into masala chai.
With a circumference of over 8 mm, this cardamom has unique lemon and mint undertones. Given that the cardamom pods are very brittle, they are all picked and sorted by hand.
