If you like to grind your own spices, these seeds are convenient to have on hand since you do not have to pick them out of the fibrous pod. Cardamom has a strong but mellow aroma, with a note of camphor. Used widely in Scandinavian and Indian cooking, cardamom is excellent in spiced cakes, breads, hambuger meat, and meatloaf. It is also used in a variety of sweet dishes as well as Indian chai blends - try adding to ground coffee before brewing.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
