Green Cardamom Pods Whole 1 kg Guatemala

One kilogram of whole green cardamom pods, sourced from Guatemala. These are dried cardamom grains in their natural husks — the full pods, not pre-ground powder — suited to potpourri, sachets, natural fragrance projects, and decorative bowl displays. What Makes This Useful Whole pods hold their warm, spicy-sweet fragrance far longer than ground cardamom — expect the scent to remain noticeable in a bowl or sachet for weeks. A full kilogram gives you enough material for multiple projects: fill several sachets, layer into potpourri blends, or keep a generous bowl on display. The natural green colour and uniform pod shape make these visually appealing in glass jars, open bowls, or mixed into dried flower arrangements. Cardamom pairs well with dried citrus peel, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in custom potpourri — it adds a warm, aromatic depth without overpowering other botanicals. Whole Pods from Guatemala These are whole green cardamom pods (Elettaria cardamomum), dried and packed in their natural husks. Sourced from Guatemala, one of the world's largest producers of green cardamom, where the tropical highland climate produces aromatic, well-formed pods. The package weighs 1 kg net. Display and Care For the longest-lasting fragrance, keep the pods in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight. Displayed in an open bowl, the scent will be noticeable within arm's reach. For stronger fragrance in a closed space like a drawer or wardrobe, place a handful in a breathable fabric sachet. Lightly crushing a few pods will release a fresh burst of scent when the aroma starts to fade. Store any unused portion in an airtight container. Cardamom as a Botanical Cardamom is a member of the ginger family and has been traded across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for centuries. Its warm, slightly sweet, and faintly eucalyptus-like scent makes it a traditional ingredient in natural fragrance blends and incense mixtures. Common Questions How long do whole green cardamom pods retain their scent? In an open bowl, expect noticeable fragrance for several weeks. In a sealed sachet or container, the scent can last months. What scents blend well with cardamom in a potpourri? Cinnamon sticks, dried orange peel, whole cloves, and star anise all complement cardamom's warm profile. Rose petals add a floral contrast.
