Prep notes
Smoked over fire. Camphor, not perfume. A dal and pho spice, never a dessert one. Not a stronger green cardamom — a different genus.
Season
Year-round grocery when this catalogue row is listed as common / pantry.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
