  • Cardamom is sensitive to light, air, and moisture, so it's best to store it in a dark, airtight container. You can use a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid or a plastic container that seals well. Cardamom should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like the stove or oven. A pantry or cupboard is a good option. Don't store in the refrigerator.
