Cardamom pods for grinding your own cardamom. Best taste and freshness that makes a huge difference in baked / baking items. These are the same pods we use here for our Pulla, kanelbullar, and more. Open even a new jar of ground cardamom and see if you can smell it at all even with your nose pressed against it. Pods help to keep the aroma and flavor in the seeds as does keeping the seeds whole until prior to use. Our 3/4oz ( 20gm) package contains about 75 pods (pod size varies).
