Organic Cardamom Powder

Cardamom is a spice made from the seed pods of various plants in the ginger family. The pods are dried, and the seeds inside are used whole or ground into a powder. It has a strong, distinct flavor with notes of citrus and mint.

Cardamom powder is used to add a warm, aromatic flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. It is commonly found in baked goods, curries, spice blends, and beverages like coffee and tea. Manufacturers use it primarily as a flavoring agent.

Cardamom is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a common spice used in traditional medicine, but scientific evidence for specific health benefits in humans is limited. JECFA has evaluated cardamom and found no safety concerns. No significant controversies or regulatory concerns are associated with its use as a food flavoring.
