This is culinary royalty. The third most expensive spice in the world by weight after vanilla and saffron, Cardamom’s influence stretches from the curries of India to the bakeries of Scandinavia, not to mention in world famous gin distilleries and tea houses. Mill & Mortar sources its whole Organic Green Cardamom from the rainforests of Sri Lanka, where the villagers of Pilimathalawa have to get to the pods before the monkeys and boar eat them, or before the leeches, mosquitoes and other insects eat the pickers themselves. Picked while tender and green, the pods have a taste like nothing else,
As vibrant in flavour as they are in colour, Mill & Mortar’s Organic Pink Peppercorns have a glorious floral and fruity sweetness balanced by a spicy bitterness. These can be dropped whole into a gin and tonic or cocktail; crushed into dressings, stews, curry pastes and sauces (particularly creamy ones); or used to decorate soft cheese, homemade chocolate truffles, salads, steak or simply cooked fish and steamed vegetables.
