Ujamaa SIngle Origin Mitakawani Yellow Cardamon 30
Aromatic with a hint of herbal warmth, this single origin cardamom is grown completely organically and dried in the Zanzibari sun by their partner small-hold farmers.
Although this cardamom may not display the typical vibrant green hue, rest assured that this is entirely normal. Mitakawani cardamom is cultivated using entirely organic methods and carries slight blemishes on its outer shell, acquired during its natural growth as an organic cardamom pod.
Harvested when fully ripe, the cardamom pods are sun-dried, a time-honoured process passed down through generations. Unlike many commercially available green cardamom varieties, no chemicals or industrial dryers are used to preserve the bright green colour.
As a result of this natural approach and the tropical climate, the pods develop a straw-yellow tint. Although some larger producers might view this method as primitive, these communities harness sustainable energy from the sun, avoiding deforestation and eschewing kiln-fired drying chambers, excessive electricity, or gas usage.
In Zanzibar, cardamom flavours all milk products, including both dairy and plant-based like coconut. Simply simmer a few crushed pods with your milk of choice for a few minutes to infuse it with an incredible sweet, floral essence. It also complements Scandinavian pastries wonderfully, and you can even experiment with it in savoury dishes for a unique twist.
