Fox’s Spices Ground Cardamom 475g

Ground Cardamom

Fox’s Spices Ground Cardamom 475g is a finely milled aromatic spice made from the seeds of green cardamom pods. The powder has a warm sweet flavour with gentle notes of citrus and herbs, along with a soft cooling edge that many people describe as slightly mint like. This distinctive taste means ground cardamom spice works just as well in cakes, biscuits and desserts as it does in curries, rice dishes and marinades. The texture is smooth and free flowing so it blends easily into batters, sauces and drinks without leaving any gritty bits behind. If you are wondering what ground cardamom powder is used for, it is a simple way to bring depth and fragrance to baking, spiced coffee, chai style drinks and fragrant savoury dishes without the need to crush whole pods.

Key Features:

• 475g tub, a generous amount that suits regular use in both sweet recipes and savoury cooking.
• Fine cardamom powder mixes quickly into doughs, cake batters, sauces and drinks so the flavour is evenly distributed in every bite or sip.
• Ready ground cardamom gives you consistent strength and saves time compared with opening and grinding whole pods for each recipe.
• A versatile spice that supports a wide range of cuisines from Indian and Middle Eastern dishes to Scandinavian inspired baking and British puddings.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Stir a teaspoon of ground cardamom into sponge cake batter, banana bread or simple butter biscuits for a gently perfumed bake that pairs well with citrus and nuts.
• Add a pinch of ground cardamom to rice pudding, porridge or stewed fruit to give a cosy aromatic flavour that feels a bit more special than using cinnamon alone.
• Use ground cardamom in curries, pilafs and lentil dishes along with cumin and coriander to add a rounded fragrant note that lifts both rice and sauce based recipes.
• Mix ground cardamom with freshly brewed coffee or chai style tea, a little sugar and warm milk to make a homemade spiced drink that feels like a cafe style treat.

What does ground cardamom taste like?

Ground cardamom has a complex flavour that is warm and sweet with hints of citrus, herbs and gentle spice, and many people also notice a light mint like freshness. This mix of sweet, spicy and aromatic notes is why cardamom powder works in both desserts and savoury dishes without tasting out of place.

What is ground cardamom used for in cooking?

Ground cardamom is used to flavour cakes, biscuits, fruit desserts, sweet breads, porridge and rice pudding, as well as curries, rice dishes, stews and marinades. Because it is already milled to a fine powder, it is especially handy in baking, hot drinks such as coffee and chai and any recipe where you want the flavour of cardamom without whole pods or visible seeds.

Why is cardamom considered an expensive spice?

Cardamom is often listed among the most expensive spices in the world because it can only be grown in specific tropical regions and the pods need to be picked by hand. This makes production labour intensive and limits supply, so the price per kilo is higher than many other spices, although only a small amount of cardamom powder is needed to flavour most recipes.
