Description
Botanical Name: Eletaria cardamomum
Few spices evoke luxury, nostalgia and warmth quite like green cardamom. Prized for centuries across India, the Middle East and Scandinavia, its aroma is sweet, floral, citrus-bright and lightly spicy, fragrance that instantly elevates both sweet and savoury dishes.
Spice Zen’s Ground Green Cardamom Seed is stone-milled in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility, using certified organic decorticated seeds for purity and intensity. By grinding the inner seeds only and not the fibrous pods, we preserve the spice’s natural volatile oils, capturing its sweet, floral warmth in its most vibrant form. Immediately sealed in recyclable amber glass jars, it retains its perfume-like aroma and true, freshly-ground character.
Ground cardamom adapts beautifully to modern cooking. Just a pinch is enough to bring a lift in porridges, smoothies, pastries, cakes or an elegant perfume in rice dishes, biryanis, curries, and beverages.

Wellness Note
Across many culinary traditions, cardamom has long been appreciated for its soothing aroma, comforting sweetness and use in aromatic beverages, festive sweets and warming meals. In Ayurveda, cardamom (elaichi) is considered tridoshic, balancing for Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Traditionally used to lighten rich foods and soothe the senses, it is one of the few spices that harmonises well with all three doshas when enjoyed in moderate amounts.
