Cardamom, Coriander and Garam Masala -- Help!

Posted by ironic_username, March 9, 2009 at 7:53 PM

Hi,

I just did something very foolish. I went to the bulk food store to fill up my new spice rack, and of course forgot to label anything. While my novice nose was able to identify the majority, there are three that I cannot distinguish based on site and smell alone: cardamom, coriander and garam masala (and yes, I do realize that the garam masala likely contains both cardamom and coriander). Any tips for how to tell them apart?

Thanks,

Emily
