Have used this green elachi in almost all my sweet dishes, and it gave a fantastic aroma and enhances the taste of the dish too
One of the best and most fragrant cardamom I have ever used!
I use freshly pound cardamom for my tea everyday. I used to put 2-3 pods in one mug of tea and still complain of lack of flavour but I don't anymore. Local Sparrow's cardamom is so fragrant and tastes amazing. I don't even need a full pod. Just two three grains from a pod are enough for my chai.
I love the aroma and flavour so much! I use cardamom powder extensively and on whiff of this and I knew I had the best quality in hand. The taste is extremely good
Doesnt need rocket science. Just look at those pods- bigger, greener and the most fragrant that you might ever come across.
Kudos for your amazing, careful selection of the very top end of spices!

The simplest solution to this is to keep the green cardamom pods in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
