These pods are selected for their heavy, green-dense weight and intact husks, ensuring the internal oil-rich seeds remain pressurized and potent until the moment they are cracked.
While commercial cardamom is often harvested prematurely or "bleached" for color, Diara Cardamom is prime-harvested for Internal Density. We prioritize pods with a high seed-to-husk ratio, ensuring you get more aromatic oil per gram.
These pods are dried at controlled temperatures to lock in the Cineole oils. This preserves the cooling, eucalyptus-forward top notes that are usually lost in mass-market sun-drying processes.
NOSE
Piercingly fresh, floral, and cooling with a camphor-like clarity.
PALATE
Sweet, citrusy, and refreshing with a lingering minty finish.
COLOUR
A deep, waxy green that signifies a pod harvested at its absolute peak. It isn't a "bright" neon green; it is a muted, sophisticated tone that suggests high internal density and moisture-locked freshness.
