Green cardamom pods are often adulterated with "used" cardamom pods, or ones from which volatile oils have already been extracted. When you buy green cardamom, look for pods that appear plump and feel full to touch. Used pods will have a shrunken appearance and feel emptier. In terms of color, unadulterated pods have a mellow yet fresh green color while adulterated ones are either pale or have been colored an unnatural green using a dye.
