I enjoy exploring different spices and flavors of the world, and this one is something I hadn't experienced yet. Upon opening the bag, the pods appear to be fresh and in good shape. Initially, I put one into my spice grinder because I was going to make a rub. Too much. I then used it, as recommended on the bag, I put it in the crockpot meal whole, but cracked to release flavor. This lended a distinct smoky flavor to the meal without being overpowering. Much like you add a bay leaf to cooking, then remove it before eating. This flavor is unique and if you're unaccustomed to West African dishes, it may be an acquired taste. However, the product seems to be good quality and very aromatic for what it is.

This spice is a first for me. I actually never heard of it before coming across this listing. It is easy to use. Used similar to how the more familiar bay leaves are used. Take a pod crack it open and cook with it, remove the pod before serving. The smell and flavor of it is similar to a woodsy smoky barbecue. Very different and very distinct. If you are familiar with black cardamom, I would say similar in that aspect if trying to find a comparison.
