Ground Cardamom is used as an ingredient of Garam Masala. Cardamom has a strong, aromatic flavour and can be used whole or ground, in savoury dishes, curries, rice, puddings, cakes and tea.

Use sparingly to give a ‘herby’ flavour to savoury dishes including omelettes, casseroles, pasta sauces and stews.

The seed, when ground, has a sharp acrid flavour similar to celery.
