Product details

Green cardamom, also known as "true cardamom" or Elettaria cardamomum, is a highly aromatic and complex spice from the ginger family. It is a prized ingredient in cuisines worldwide, from South Asian curries to Scandinavian pastries. 

 

 

 

 

Physical characteristics

  • Form: Green cardamom is available as whole pods, shelled seeds, or a ground powder. The whole, spindle-shaped pods are green, papery, and triangular in cross-section.
  • Contents: Each pod contains 15 to 20 small, dark brown or black, highly aromatic seeds.
  • Source: The spice comes from a tall, perennial herbaceous plant native to the moist, tropical forests of southern India and Sri Lanka. 

Flavor and aroma profile

Green cardamom is often called the "Queen of Spices" because of its potent and distinctive scent. Its complex profile includes a variety of notes: 

Culinary uses

Cardamom's multifaceted flavor makes it suitable for both sweet and savory dishes across many cuisines.

  • Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine:
    • Masala chai: A primary ingredient in masala chai and spiced coffees.
    • Curries and rice dishes: Integral to spice blends like garam masala and used to flavor curries, stews, and biryani.
  • Scandinavian cuisine: Used extensively in baking, particularly for breads, buns (kardemummabulle), and other pastries.
  • Desserts: Flavors a variety of sweets, including ice cream, cookies, and custards.
  • Beverages: Adds aroma to infused teas, mulled wine, and other beverages. 

Usage tips

  • Whole pods vs. ground: The flavor of green cardamom fades quickly once ground. For the most potent flavor, it is best to buy whole pods and grind the seeds just before use.
  • For stronger flavor: For recipes requiring a more intense taste, you can lightly bruise the pods or toast the seeds before grinding.
  • With liquids: Add whole pods early in the cooking process to allow their flavor to infuse into liquids like tea, coffee, and stews.
  • Whole pods in dishes: Be aware that whole pods are typically meant to be removed from the finished dish and not eaten directly.

Key Features

Green cardamom offers numerous health benefits, supported by both traditional medicine and scientific research. These benefits include improving digestion, freshening breath, and providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. 

 

Digestive health

  • Aids digestion: Cardamom is known to stimulate digestive enzymes and reduce bloating, gas, and indigestion.
  • Fights ulcers: It may help protect against Helicobacter pylori, a common cause of stomach ulcers, though more human studies are needed.
  • Supports detoxification: As a mild diuretic, cardamom helps the body flush out waste and toxins. 

Heart health

  • Lowers blood pressure: Regular consumption may help lower blood pressure and improve circulation due to its antioxidant and diuretic properties.
  • Manages cholesterol: Some animal studies suggest cardamom can lower bad cholesterol, though human research on its effect is mixed and caution is advised. 

Oral health

  • Fights bad breath: Cardamom's antibacterial properties help combat odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.
  • Prevents cavities: Studies show that cardamom extract can fight mouth bacteria, potentially reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. 

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties

  • Reduces inflammation: Cardamom is rich in compounds that reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to many diseases, including cancer and diabetes.
  • Boosts immunity: The antioxidant content helps protect the body's cells from damage and enhances the immune system. 

Other potential benefits

  • May help with diabetes: Some research indicates cardamom can help regulate blood sugar levels, but larger-scale human studies are needed.
  • Supports respiratory health: The spice's warming properties can soothe throat irritation, relieve nasal congestion, and support overall lung health.
  • May have anti-cancer effects: Laboratory and animal studies have found that cardamom contains compounds that may help fight certain types of cancer, but more research is required.
  • Promotes mental wellness: The aroma of cardamom can have a calming effect that helps reduce anxiety and stress. 

Note: While cardamom is generally safe in food quantities, it should be consumed in moderation, especially if taking certain medications or if you have specific health conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using it as a supplement.
