حبات الهيل الأخضر

DRUERA sells only LG grade green cardamom, which is the highest grade available.

LG stands for "Large Green" and refers to pods that are fully mature, plump, and vibrant green in color with intact seeds inside.

This grade is preferred in the Middle East and West Asian markets, which are the largest importers of cardamom in the world.

The cardamom is grown wild in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and could be considered organic, though it's not formally certified.

These are whole green cardamom pods, not pre-ground powder.

Whole pods retain their flavor and aromatic oils much longer than ground cardamom.

To use, you can either add whole pods to dishes (removing them before serving), crush them lightly to release the seeds, or grind the seeds yourself using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Many cooks prefer whole pods because freshly ground cardamom has a significantly more intense and complex flavor than pre-ground versions.

Green cardamom is incredibly versatile. In Middle Eastern cuisine, it's traditionally ground and mixed with coffee to make "Kawa," a popular aromatic drink.

It's essential in Indian chai, biryani, and curry dishes. In Scandinavian baking, it flavors pastries and breads.

You can also add it to rice dishes, desserts, smoothies, or even cocktails. For savory dishes, add whole pods early in cooking and remove before serving.

For baking or drinks, grind the seeds fresh for maximum flavor.

When stored properly, DRUERA's green cardamom pods maintain their quality for up to 2 years.

After harvest, the cardamom is shade-cured and packed to preserve freshness.

Once you open the package, store the pods in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.

The whole pods retain their aromatic oils much longer than ground cardamom, which is why buying whole and grinding as needed gives you the best flavor.

Sri Lanka (Ceylon) has been famous for its spices for centuries, and Ceylon green cardamom is particularly prized in international markets.

The island's unique climate and growing conditions produce cardamom with exceptional flavor and aroma.

DRUERA's cardamom is wild-grown rather than plantation-cultivated, which many believe results in more complex flavors.

The Middle East and West Asian markets specifically prefer Ceylon green cardamom over varieties from other origins.

DRUERA offers three sizes: 1 oz (29g) for trying it out or occasional use, 4 oz (114g) for regular home cooks, and 1 lb (453g) for heavy users or those who want the best value.

Orders ship directly from Sri Lanka within days of harvest, arriving via FedEx or DHL typically within 3-7 days with online tracking.

Customers from the US, Belgium, and other countries have noted that DRUERA's cardamom is fresher and often more affordable than what's available at local stores, even with shipping included.
