Notes from our Kitchen
The only cardamom worthy enough to showcase its bold flavor in this granola? Cloud Forest Cardamom from New York-based Burlap & Barrel. They work with growers around the world to find the very best spices and pay the farmers a fair price.
This cardamom is grown on one of the only single-estate cardamom farms in Guatemala's cloud forests, an ideal environment for growing cardamom, which thrives in temperate high-altitude environments with plenty of rainfall. The comparatively low temperatures during harvest season ensure that the cardamom has very high levels of fragrant essential oils.
