To ensure the quality of green cardamom, the difficulty is to harvest only the ripe pods, i.e. those containing the black seeds. This requires a very rigorous selection. Indeed, when the seeds are dried, all the seeds become + or – black and it is difficult to tell them apart. The taste, on the other hand, can be unpleasant if the cardamom has not been picked sufficiently ripe... and this is what happens with many green cardamoms on the market. On the environmental side, cardamom is a bulwark against deforestation when it is managed in agroforestry, as is the case here.
An exceptional and atypical tonka bean, cardamom and peppers from small producers imported directly from Colombia.
Romain Laly is a spice sourcer in the Amazon, in direct contact with certain ethnic groups in Colombia. It sources in particular a tonka bean of a different variety, rarer and aromatically more pleasant than the usual varieties. It is also visually larger. It also sources directly from small Colombian producers of green cardamom and peppers (black, red and white). By offering better incomes to Colombian farmers, we contribute together to the fight against deforestation, trafficking and illegal mines that are destroying the magnificent Colombian landscapes.See all products in this range
