Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Green Cardamom Seeds, which are the dried, small, dark seeds extracted from the whole green pods of Elettaria cardamomum. Green Cardamom is often referred to as the “Queen of Spices,” celebrated globally for its intense, highly fragrant, slightly sweet, floral, and medicinal flavor profile.
The seeds contain high concentrations of volatile essential oils, primarily Cineole (Eucalyptol), which gives the spice its characteristic penetrating aroma. The seeds are often preferred over the whole pods for applications requiring maximum flavor potency and ease of grinding or extracting.
