Ground cardamom is a spice made from the finely ground seeds of the cardamom plant, known for its complex sweet, spicy, and citrusy flavor. It is used in a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes, including Indian curries, Scandinavian pastries, baked goods, and coffee and tea blends.
What it is
A spice from the seeds: Ground cardamom is made by powdering the seeds of the green cardamom plant.
Complex flavor: It has a unique and aromatic flavor profile that is both sweet and spicy, often with citrus and eucalyptus-like notes.
Culinary uses
Sweet dishes: It is a common ingredient in baking, desserts, and Indian sweets.
Savory dishes: It enhances the flavor of curries, rice dishes, and other savory meals.
Spice blends: It is a key component in spice mixtures like garam masala.
Beverages: It is used to add flavor to hot drinks like masala chai and Turkish coffee.
Tips for use
For a smooth texture: Ground cardamom dissolves well in liquids, creating a smooth texture in custards, creams, and milk-based drinks.
To preserve flavor: Ground cardamom loses its flavor more quickly than whole pods, so it's best to buy smaller amounts and store it in an airtight container.
