Before you use it
Crack the pods rather than grinding them whole; the husk is largely flavorless and dilutes the dose. Black cardamom is a different and much smokier spice and is not a substitute.
Description
Green pods cracked to expose the seeds, giving eucalyptus, citrus and a warm resinous spice. A winter-warmer and Belgian dubbel spice, and traditional in some Scandinavian Christmas beers.
