Ground cardamom is a finely milled spice derived from the seeds of the cardamom pod, native to South Asia and widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cuisines. Known for its complex aroma with hints of citrus, mint, and sweetness, cardamom is a staple in savory dishes, desserts, and beverages like chai tea. Rich in antioxidants, it may support digestion, promote heart health, and aid in reducing inflammation. Cardamom also contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals, such as manganese, which contributes to nutrient metabolism. While low in calories, its intense flavor allows for sparing use, minimizing any nutritional drawbacks. Additionally, it has long been valued for its potential antimicrobial properties and ability to freshen breath. Cardamom is generally considered healthy and can add depth and aroma to culinary creations while offering a range of health benefits.
