Ground Cardamom

Ground cardamom is the pre-milled form of this prized spice, offering immediate intensity of flavor and aroma without the need to crush whole pods. It is produced by grinding dried cardamom seeds and has a characteristic scent combining citrus, menthol, and eucalyptus notes. Compared to whole pods, it is easier to measure and blends more quickly into dishes. It is used in baked goods, gingerbread, mulled wine, curry blends, coffee, and desserts. In Arabic and Indian cuisines, it is an essential component of spice blends. Once opened, it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and heat, as the ground form loses its aroma more quickly than whole pods.
