High-quality cardamom powder to refine your dishes with just a pinch.

Our freshly processed cardamom powder has a fruity taste and gives your dishes an invigorating effect. Enjoy the intense aromas with a slight acidity and sweetness. Cardamom is a versatile spice that you should use sparingly.

At the same time, you can fully utilize its numerous applications. Add a special spice to beverages such as chai tea, coffee, and various dishes with a pinch of cardamom powder.

There are virtually no limits, as these examples illustrate: cocoa, vegetables, sauces, soups, stews, chicken, fish or meat, fruit salads.

In addition, cardamom harmonizes excellently with other spices. You can enjoy the autumnal-wintery taste with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, as well as add a timeless-exotic note with coriander and cumin.

Not to forget, cardamom powder, with its warming properties and slight sweetness, fits perfectly with almost any Christmas pastry.

When is it best to buy whole cardamom and when cardamom powder?
We recommend using both whole pods and freshly processed cardamom powder for seasoning. The advantage of powder is obvious: you can quickly and precisely refine your dishes. For example, add some cardamom powder to your soup, puree, or beetroot at the end. If you are preparing a sauce or a stew, take advantage of the cooking time. You can crack two or three cardamom pods and add them at the beginning. This allows the aromas of the cardamom to unfold wonderfully. This way, you always maintain control over the intensity of the seasoning.

How much cardamom powder a day is healthy? 
Cardamom has a calming effect and can stimulate digestion, helping with bloating. In addition, cardamom powder has an intense aroma, so you will use it sparingly. This virtually eliminates the possibility of an overdose. Should you accidentally drop a tablespoon of cardamom powder into your soup, it's advisable to cook it for many people instead. This is because cardamom powder, as an "all-round spice," refines almost all dishes, but only precisely by adding small amounts. This makes almost all your dishes even tastier and more digestible.
