Green Cardamom Ground

Ameen Foods Green Cardamom Ground is made from premium Elettaria cardamomum pods grown in India and Guatemala. Finely milled to preserve its fragrance and flavor, this spice offers a warm, sweet aroma with light citrus and herbal notes — a distinctive profile that defines true cardamom.

Perfect for baking, desserts, curries, rice dishes, and tea blends, ground cardamom adds both sweetness and spice in one balanced ingredient. It's a key flavor in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines, bringing aromatic warmth to both savory and sweet recipes.

In addition to its culinary versatility, cardamom has long been valued in traditional cooking for its distinctive aroma and flavor.

A spoonful is all it takes to transform a dish — rich aroma, smooth texture, and unmistakable depth make this spice a true kitchen essential.

How to use it
Use a quarter to half a teaspoon in a cake, a kheer, a Scandinavian sweet dough or a masala chai blend, and a pinch in a rice pilau or a curry stirred in near the end. Ground cardamom is potent, so half a teaspoon is generous for a standard cake batter. Technique tip: keep the jar sealed and buy it in small quantities, since ground cardamom loses most of its perfume within a couple of months while whole pods keep theirs for a year.
