How to use?

Whole pods of cardamom can be added during cooking, but to release the intense flavor one should first give them a quick bash with a rolling pin to expose the seeds and then add to the dishes. If whole pods is used then it can either be discarded after cooking or left in for decoration only (they are not edible). When a recipe requires just the cardamom seeds, slit the pod lengthways with a small sharp knife to release the seeds
