Cloud Forest Cardamom (Ground Pods)

Cardamom has been a popular spice in Sweden since medieval times, and of course is best known as that all-important flavor in Kanelbullar (Swedish Cinnamon Buns)! Cloud Forest Cardamom is sweet and tart, reminiscent of summer fruits, fresh herbs and cut grass. It comes straight from a single-estate regenerative farm in the high-altitude cloud forests of Guatemala. The fruit turns yellow as it ripens on the vine and has a softer and sweeter flavor that makes it a perfect upgrade to standard green cardamom. This ground cardamom is made from whole pods ground into a coarse powder, which has the added benefit of thickening dishes, thanks to the cardamom pod's husk.  You may need to grind it further into a finer powder texture if it's not going to go through a long cooking process (like with baked goods).
