Green cardamom pods are preferred by both chefs and serious home cooks. Top quality cardamom is harvested while still immature and sun-dried to preserve its bright green color. Whole pods have a superior ability to retain the much sought after flavor and aroma.

Whole cardamom pods are preferred for maintaining the best flavor. The inner seeds are a dark brown to almost black in color and are typically sticky. Cardamom seeds are also called cardamom decorticated or cardamom hulled which means the seeds have been removed from the pods.
