About

Our Conventional Ground Cardamom (*Elettaria cardamomum*) brings the aromatic intensity of the "Queen of Spices" in its most convenient form. Sourced from premium growers, these green pods are harvested, dried, and ground into a fine powder that retains the spice’s signature complex flavour profile: sweet, floral, and eucalyptus-like with hints of citrus and pepper. While organic options exist, our conventional grade offers exceptional flavour consistency and value, making it the perfect pantry staple for avid bakers and curry lovers alike.

As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.

Directions of Use

Ground cardamom is potent. A little goes a long way compared to whole pods.

1. Baking (The Scandi Way): Essential for Swedish Cardamom Buns (Kardemummabullar). Add 1-2 teaspoons to your dough for that distinct, warming floral note.

2. Curries & Stews: A key ingredient in Garam Masala and Butter Chicken. Add it early in the cooking process to meld with other spices.

3. Coffee & Tea: Add a pinch to your coffee grounds before brewing for a "Turkish Coffee" twist, or whisk into hot milk for an instant chai flavour.

4. Breakfast Topper: Sprinkle over porridge, yoghurt, or smoothies for a digestive boost and aromatic sweetness without sugar.

How much ground equals one pod?

The general rule of thumb is that 1/4 to 1/6 of a teaspoon of ground cardamom is equivalent to the seeds inside one green cardamom pod.

Is it spicy or sweet?

It is uniquely both! It is warming and spicy like ginger, but also sweet and floral like citrus. This duality is why it works perfectly in savoury curries AND sweet buns.

Can I use it in coffee?

Yes! This is a Middle Eastern tradition. Add a pinch of ground cardamom to your coffee grounds before brewing for a fragrant, stomach-soothing upgrade to your morning cup.

How should I store it?

Ground spices lose their volatile oils faster than whole spices. Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard. Do not store it over the stove where heat and steam can reach it.

Why is it so expensive?

Cardamom is the third most expensive spice in the world (after Saffron and Vanilla). This is because harvesting is labour-intensive; each pod must be hand-picked at exactly the right maturity.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes, pure ground cardamom is naturally gluten-free. It is a single-ingredient spice, making it safe for celiacs (always check for cross-contamination warnings on labels).
