Brundo Spice Company Ethiopian Korerima | Authentic Black Cardamom ‘Grains of Paradise’ | Hand-Picked & Naturally Processed | Harvested & Imported from Ethiopia | Non-GMO, Organic & No Preservatives 2.5oz

Ethiopian cardamom is sometimes confused with the more readily available Indian black cardamom, which it superficially resembles. However, the flavor profile is completely different. The Indian black variety is smoky, woody, and bitter. The Ethiopian variety is sweetly complex--nutty, fruity, floral all at once, somewhat akin to green cardamom, but with its own characteristic notes. And, like the Ethiopian basil also sold by this company, this product is essential in making a proper doro wat, aa well as other classic dishes.

This black cardamom comes as seeds. Some types of black cardamom come as whole pods and are extremely pungent. This cardamom is suitable for either savory or sweet, while the whole-pod kind is too camphor-ish to be good for sweets. I trust this supplier to provide the highest quality. I have been very happy with all my purchases from them!

This wonderful little jar is my new best friend! The aroma that the grains release upon being crushed is just so deep and layered and lovely!

This is the Ethiopian black cardamom seed, very difficult to find and I'm very pleased with it. Roast it lightly & grind the seeds, use it to sauté your meat or vegetables to enhance your dish. One of the main ingredient in Ethiopian spices earthy and smokey floral. A little goes a long way just sprinkle this stuff and you good to go for delicious meal.

I always love the quality and fresh flavor.

Excellent aromatic seeds, seems meticulously selected, delectable

I use it for clarifying Niter Kibe & spicing up Ethiopian traditional dishes.

So glad to have this spice for such a good value. Made the cake perfect and shipping was so fast I didn’t need to make the 100mi drive into town!
