About the Product

Guru Foods Cardamom is an aromatic spice valued for its distinctive sweet, fresh and fragrant character.

Cardamom is one of the most widely used aromatic spices in Indian cuisine and is especially popular in tea, sweets, desserts and festive preparations.

Whole cardamom pods can be lightly crushed before use to help release the aroma of the seeds inside. The seeds can also be removed and ground for applications requiring a more evenly distributed cardamom flavour.

Its versatile flavour makes cardamom suitable for both sweet preparations and selected savoury dishes, including biryani, pulao and traditional spice blends.

Ingredient

Cardamom

If the product is specifically Green Cardamom, the ingredient may be declared as:

Green Cardamom (Elaichi)

The final ingredient declaration and product identity should always correspond with the actual botanical material and approved packaging.

How to Use

1. Take the required quantity of Guru Foods Cardamom.
2. Use whole pods directly where a mild infused flavour is desired.
3. Lightly crush the pods before use for a stronger aroma.
4. For desserts, sweets and bakery applications, the seeds may be removed and ground.
5. Add to tea or other hot beverages during preparation.
6. For spice blends, grind according to the required particle size.
7. Adjust the quantity according to the desired cardamom aroma and flavour intensity.

Because cardamom has a strong aromatic profile, a relatively small quantity can provide noticeable flavour.

Important Information

Cardamom is a natural agricultural spice, so pod size, colour and aroma may vary between batches.

Whole pods generally help protect the aromatic seeds inside. For stronger aroma, lightly crush the pods immediately before use.

Green Cardamom and Black Cardamom should not be treated as interchangeable products. If Guru Foods is selling Green Cardamom, I recommend displaying the website product name as “Green Cardamom (Elaichi)” rather than simply “Cardamom” for clearer product identification.

The actual botanical identity, variety, grade/specification, ingredient declaration, country of origin, nutritional information, shelf life, allergen/cross-contact information, storage conditions and statutory information displayed on the website should always match the information printed on the approved product packaging.
