Cardamom is graded by pod size and colour, and the difference between grades is enormous both in price and in what you get. These are 8mm bold pods from the Idukki hills, still properly green rather than bleached or faded to straw.
Green means the pods were dried carefully at low temperature. Faded or yellowish cardamom has usually been dried too hot or stored too long, and the seeds inside will be pale brown rather than near-black and sticky. Ours are dark, oily and aromatic enough that the smell fills a room when the pack is opened.
Use the whole pod bruised in rice and biryani, or split it and use just the seeds for desserts and chai where you do not want the husk. Two or three pods is usually enough for a dish serving four; cardamom overwhelms very easily.
