What it is
Oleoresin cardamom is a concentrated extract derived from the seeds of the cardamom plant (Elettaria cardamomum). It is produced by extracting the volatile oils and non-volatile resinous compounds from the seeds using solvents, which are then removed to leave a thick, aromatic liquid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use oleoresin cardamom as a flavoring agent to impart the warm, spicy, and slightly sweet taste of cardamom. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, beverages, and savory dishes, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Health notes
Oleoresin cardamom is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated cardamom and its extracts, but have not set a specific numerical acceptable daily intake. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Oleoresin cardamom is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
