this tiny green pod shows up everywhere in arab kitchens, often without announcement. it's tossed whole into simmering pots of meat, crushed gently into warm milk, or steeped in coffee and served with great respect and love. it’s reliable, grounding, and familiar.
if you've eaten a traditional arab meal, you've probably tasted cardamom. maybe you didn’t notice it right away, but that’s kind of the point. it weaves itself into the background of so many of our dishes. not to take the spotlight, but to hold everything together.
you’ll find it in savory stews and spiced rice, where it lifts and warms heavier ingredients. you’ll taste it in sweets, too; whether folded into the dough of ma’amoul or stirred into syrupy knafeh. and when the night winds down, it’s there in the coffee poured from a tall pot into small, handleless cups - a ritual as old as the stories told around it.
shawarmaji’s cardamom comes both whole and ground, depending on how you cook and where you want it to shine. add it whole to rice or meat dishes, grind it fresh for your desserts, or infuse it into tea or coffee the way our ancestors did. this is cardamom. ancient, reliable, and unmeasured - our grandmothers' preferred method of use.
cardamom is a central part of our carefully built single spice collection that's sourced for freshness and packed in small batches, just like we’d want it in our own kitchens.
we hope these spices bring a touch of tradition, flavor, and wellness to your table always.
peace, love, and toum,
the shawarmaji family
