A genuine Swiss manufactory
Cardamom pods bring a warm, floral-fresh aroma to your kitchen – with notes of citrus, eucalyptus, fine sweetness and a clear spiciness from the essential oils in the seeds. When you toast and crush them, the green pods unfold their full, complex profile – ideal for pastries, chai, rice dishes or curries.

My tip: Toast the cardamom pods briefly in a dry pan and open them only coarsely in the mortar – that way the essential oils are released optimally and the flavour stays clear and fine.
Origin & Story
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) originally comes from the humid, warm mountain regions of southern India and Sri Lanka. The Indian state of Kerala in particular is known for high-quality cardamom. My green cardamom pods come exclusively from India, where they are carefully grown by farmers on traditional hillsides and harvested by hand. After harvesting, the green pods are gently dried and strictly selected for quality. Only fully closed, intensely green pods make it through to further processing in my manufactory.
Highlights
The small, dark-brown seeds inside the green cardamom pods hold the concentrated essential oils. Only by crushing or grinding the pods does their intense aroma unfold – floral, fresh, warm and slightly sweet, accompanied by fine citrus and eucalyptus notes. The whole pods are perfect for aromatising liquids or dishes. Exactly how I select them stays my secret.
Quality
All cardamom pods are selected single-batch, fresh and exclusively by hand. Only the intensely green, intact pods with a high content of essential oils are processed. I consistently do without additives, technical aids, artificial flavourings or anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
I like to toast the cardamom pods briefly in a dry pan and then crush them coarsely in the mortar. That way the aroma unfolds optimally – ideal for nut bars or butter pastries. Especially lovely as an aromatic note in crème brûlée or in a fresh lemon vinaigrette.
