Ground Cardamom

Description

Ground cardamom comes from grinding green cardamom seeds. Ground cardamom is usually called for when the spice is added to batters and baked goods, while it’s more common to see whole cardamom pods when the purpose is to infuse flavor by steeping the pods in liquid or sauteing in oil.

Cardamom has a unique and distinctive flavor. It’s challenging to describe but has peppery, piney, eucalyptus, and menthol-like notes, but the taste of cardamom is also floral with hints of citrus. This blend of sweet, peppery, pungent, and aromatic flavors makes it an incredibly versatile spice.

If you wish to grind your own, remove the seeds from the shells and grind the seeds. You can also purchase just the seeds (or even purchase ground cardamom). If you only need a small number of seeds ground up, it may be too small an amount to grind using a kitchen gadget.
