Cardamom, called the "Queen of Spices," comes from the dried, ripe fruit of a plant in the ginger family. Its sweet taste and enticing aroma are delicious in cakes and pastries, and in Indian and Middle Eastern spice blends. At McCormick, we carefully source our cardamom pods then remove the outer hull and grind only the inner seeds where the intense flavor resides. Cardamom is a favorite ingredient in spice cookies, buns and stollen, a sweet holiday bread, where it imparts a light lemony note. But European bakers aren’t the only ones who love its spicy, floral flavor. Cardamom is popular in the Arab world in spice mixtures and as a flavoring for coffee. Try adding cardamom’s sweet-spicy taste to apple pie, sweet potatoes and rice pilaf.
I bought the McCormick Gourmet Organic Ground Cardamom for my baking projects, and it really adds a warm, spicy kick to my cookies and cakes. The 1.75 oz package lasts quite a while, and the flavor is just top-notch. Totally worth the slightly higher price for organic!

Packaging issues but good spice
The flavor of this ground cardamom is excellent, but the package arrived with a small dent, which made me worry about freshness. Thankfully, it still smells and tastes great! Just be cautious about the packaging next time.

Tasted great but arrived late
The cardamom itself is fantastic—it's rich and aromatic when you open the jar. However, it took a few extra days to arrive, so I couldn't use it for my planned recipe. It’s a great product, just wish it got here faster!

Perfect for chai and desserts
I absolutely love using this McCormick cardamom in my chai tea! The flavor is spot-on and really enhances the taste. I also sprinkle it on desserts like rice pudding. Just be careful with the amount; a little goes a long way!

Not quite what I expected
I was hoping for a more intense flavor from the McCormick cardamom. It’s decent, but it feels a bit muted compared to what I've had before. I might try a different brand next time. Disappointed, but not a total loss.
