Green cardamom — often called the “Queen of Spices” — is a versatile spice used in both culinary and medicinal contexts. Below are its main uses, categorized for clarity:

🌿 1. Culinary Uses

A. In Sweet Dishes

  • Flavoring desserts such as kheer, halwa, gulab jamun, payasam, and cakes.

  • Added to Indian sweets (mithai) like laddu, barfi, and peda for aroma.

  • Used in tea and coffee (especially Indian chai) for a refreshing flavor.

  • Common in Middle Eastern sweets, such as baklava and basbousa.

B. In Savory Dishes

  • Added to rice dishes like biryani, pulao, and fried rice.

  • Used in curries, gravies, and stews to enhance aroma and taste.

  • An ingredient in garam masala and other spice blends.

  • Used in Arabic, Persian, and Scandinavian cuisines (e.g., in spiced meats or breads).

C. In Beverages

  • Infused in chai tea, Turkish coffee, and Arabic qahwa.

  • Added to milk-based drinks like badam milk or masala doodh.

  • Used in cocktails and mocktails for a unique aromatic touch.

💊 2. Medicinal & Health Uses (Ayurvedic & Traditional)

  • Aids digestion – helps relieve bloating, acidity, and gas.

  • Freshens breath – often chewed after meals.

  • Improves oral health – antimicrobial properties help reduce bad bacteria.

  • Supports respiratory health – may ease cough, cold, and asthma symptoms.

  • Detoxifies the body – acts as a mild diuretic, helping flush out toxins.

  • Boosts metabolism – sometimes used in weight management.

  • Reduces nausea – helpful in morning sickness or motion sickness.

🏠 3. Household & Other Uses

  • Used as a natural mouth freshener (chew the seeds directly).

  • Its essential oil is used in aromatherapy for relaxation and stress relief.

  • The pleasant aroma makes it useful in potpourri and natural perfumes.

🍃 4. Tips for Use

  • Lightly crush pods before adding to food for maximum flavor.

  • Store in an airtight container away from sunlight to preserve aroma.

  • A little goes a long way — cardamom is strongly aromatic, so use sparingly.
