What it is

Garam masala is a blend of ground spices, originating from India. The exact spices and proportions vary by region and family, but common ingredients include cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. It is typically added to dishes towards the end of cooking to preserve its aromatic qualities.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add garam masala to foods to provide a warm, complex flavor profile. It is frequently used in Indian and South Asian cuisine, appearing in dishes like curries, stews, and marinades. You can also find it in spice blends for snacks and baked goods.

Health notes

Garam masala is a mixture of spices and is not subject to specific FDA additive regulations. The individual spices within garam masala have been consumed for centuries. Some spices, like turmeric and ginger, have been studied for potential anti-inflammatory properties, but research is ongoing and often based on high concentrations. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers spices generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used for flavoring.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, some spice blends may be processed in facilities that also handle allergens, so cross-contamination is a possibility.
