The correct name is "Organic Cardamom Seeds 40g". [Peace of mind with Organic JAS Certification!] We use JAS certified cardamom from Guatemala, cultivated organically. Since it is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, you can use it with confidence in your daily cooking. Cardamom whole refers to the state where the seeds are not removed from the pod; they are removed just before cooking. Whole cardamom is recommended, and while powder is easy to use by just sprinkling, its aroma dissipates easily and requires careful storage. With whole cardamom, you peel the husk and crush the seeds inside, which takes some effort, but there is no worry about the aroma dissipating, and the husk can be easily peeled with scissors, making it easy for spice beginners to use.
