Alternative Name: (Indian) Hari Elaichi You will love our Green Cardamom Pods by Rani Brand, Here's why: Botanical Name: Elettaria cardamomum (commonly known as green or true cardamom, is a herbaceous, perennial plant in the ginger family) Green Cardamom is native to the forest of South India, where it grows wild. Second only to the spice saffron in value, cardamom is one of the worlds most expensive spice. Cardamom can enhance both sweet and savory dishes. It has been important in Indian cuisine for thousands of years, being a useful ingredient in sumptuous curries to adding a camphoric flavor to Indian masala chai. Culinary Uses of Green Cardamom Pods: Green cardamom pods are a popular ingredient in Scandinavian and Nordic baking, where they are used to flavor sweet bread and pastries. Green cardamom pods can be used to add a unique flavor to desserts like custards, ice cream, and rice pudding. Because of their sweet, slightly spicy flavor, green cardamom pods make a great addition to marinades for meat, chicken, or fish. Green cardamom pods are often used to flavor hot beverages like tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate. Not all Green Cardamom are the same... ours is better! Why is Rani Better? We buy bigger pods. Grade-A Extra Fancy JUMBO GRADE, its the best out there. That means you get more seeds, more seeds more flavor. Is greener better? Not necessarily, since picking them prior to full maturity is ideal, getting them too green means they might be a bit too ripe. Slightly off green is best. Small Green Cardamom Inferior quality, Small pod, less seeds. Probably picked a little too early not allowing them to reach 3/4 maturity for optimal flavor. Medium Green Cardamom Good quality, larger pod, more seeds. Jumbo (Rani) Green Cardamom Rani Premium quality, largest pod, most amount of seeds. In the Cardamom trade this is called Fancy Green Jumbo (XL) Picked at 3/4 maturity for the best possible flavor & optimal moisture for seeds.

Ingredients: Green Cardamom Pods Product of India How Rani's World Foods Started Established in 1979 in a small grocery store in Culver City, CA by the name of Bharat Bazaar. I was 3 years old when my parents opened this shop and literally grew up in this business. I, and by that translating to Rani, was founded on a passion for quality, value and health. Working in close partnership with our suppliers enables us to offer the freshest highest quality ingredients at a superior value. We have never cut corners, always insisting on the higher quality, higher grade. We built a brand on trust, a trust that our customers have been giving us for over 40 years. Our products are sourced from family farms, cleaned, ground & packaged in the same facility for the highest quality control and hygiene. We go around the world to bring you the exotic flavors of India & surrounding South Asian flavors. About us Rani Brand, what makes us different makes us better! Unlike other companies that use co-packers, we directly import from our own factories in India, lab test and package our ingredients to ensure quality, consistency and the best flavors. We are also one of the largest wholesale suppliers of Indian Food products in the U.S. and are trusted by hundreds of the nation’s top ethnic retailers. Did you know most products sold in the U.S. go through 3-7 different supply chains before they are sold to you? This means a higher cost and product that is older by the time it reaches you, the end consumer. We are the manufacturer, distributor & retailer of Rani Brand products. Our single vertical supply chain allows us to offer the best value and freshness, making Rani Brand Products one of a kind
