Organic Ground Cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum, is the brownish-white powder that comes from grinding cardamom seeds. It is also known as organic ground cardamon, ground cardamon, ground cardamom organic or organic cardamom ground. 

Ground Cardamom comes from firm, unripened cardamom fruit, or pods, that contain about a dozen seeds each. It is a member of the Zinziberaceae, or ginger, family, and is closely related to galangal, ginger, grains of paradise, and turmeric.

How To Use

Organic Ground Cardamom plays a starring role in Southeast Asian curries, desserts and pilafs. Add it to Vindaloo Curry Spiced Bean and Tomato Soup or Butter Chicken for extra aroma and indefinable flavor. Stir into chicken for a savory Chicken Tagine, or add to a marinade for lamb chops with garlic and pepper, and grill. Or try its softer side; make a sweet and easy breakfast Chai Spiced Overnight Oats. Braise pears in cardamom syrup, or swap into the Easiest Pancakes Ever. Add some to snickerdoodles, French toast, or rice pudding for a new take on some old classics.

Cardamom works well in combination with yogurt, fruit, chicken, grilled lamb, meatballs, pastries, sausage, oats, beans, apples, and almonds.

Pair Organic Ground Cardamom with black pepper, saffron, butter, parsley, cilantro, clove, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, ginger, paprika, and citrus flavors like lemon and orange.
