Looking for Cardamon seeds. Will pay postage. Thank you.

I actually just looked it up :), but the false cardomom is fairly small, around two or three feet tall, the real stuff is up to really tall around twelve feet. As far as I know they both are gingers and they both smell about the same. The stuff I got came from a ginger vendor who I assume was fairly close on the id, thelong and short of it is that I have some and you are welcome too it, pm me if you want to trade.

oooh ooooh oooh...I think I'll try this Sunday for our special meal..was just going to make an apple pie...

The seeds should be good for a couple of years, but if you think you won't use them up before that time, freezing will help keep them for longer. They are fairly easily crushed with mortar and pestle, or even between sheets of plastic wrap with your heavy rolling pin. I use a food processor! The silliest thing I ever did was to give my son my very cheap food processor (less than $20) which was brilliant for powdering seeds or chopping herbs or nuts etc. It had a tiny 1-cup bowl - perfect for very small quantities. It would be worth your while looking for a similar little one for purposes like this. Actually, why not try your coffee grinder? Cardamom in coffee is supposed to be wonderful (if you like coffee, that is!). Hint: To clean your coffee grinder, add a small amount of dry rice and turn it on until the grinder no longer has any odour.
