Collection: Ceylon Cardamom

Cardamom, often hailed as the "Queen of Spices," earns its moniker due to its versatility in both savory and sweet dishes. Originating from India, Sri Lanka stands out as one of the primary suppliers of both white and green varieties of this aromatic spice.

In Sri Lankan culinary culture, cardamom plays a significant role, enhancing the flavors of curries, sambols, and spiced tea. Its exquisite taste and aroma make it one of the most coveted and pricey spices available.

The dried seed pods of cardamom are the end product used in cooking, lending their unique essence to a wide array of dishes.
