RICH WITH BENEFITS
Rich, aromatic, and full of subtly complex flavor, cardamon is prized in Ayurveda for both its health benefits and culinary gifts. It is traditionally used to encourage the downward flow of energy in the GI tract, while also supporting healthy lungs and clear, comfortable breathing. In the book The Yoga of Herbs, Ayurvedic physicians Vasant Lad and David Frawley also claim that cardamom "stimulates the mind and heart and gives clarity and joy."

First time purchasing this and have added it to my nightly shot ritual and I am enjoying it so far
Makes a great compliment to my bananas, nut butter and cinnamon for breakfast :) Makes my breath feel fresh too!
thanks for quality products
As Indians we use Cardamom in so many dishes especially sweet ones. I have been using it in my oatmeal and cream of wheat as well
I sprinkle on my tea and sometimes I use 1/2 tsp when I make masala tea. It keeps your breath fresh as well.
I have sent small spice jar size to several friends and even to my mom in New Zealand. She loved it.
Now there is not need to use coffee grinder when making desserts...just sprinkle and you are on your way.
The cinnamon and cardaman I purchased were very fragrant and fresh; such a difference from "grocery store spices in jars".
This doesn’t have the soapy taste I have found with grocery store spice. I use it in a limeade, for afternoon pick me up. And also in a lassi...
I plan on putting it in the next batch of chai...

I use a lot of cardamom - it is my favorite spice. The organic Cardamom I get from Banyan is always of the highest quality. I trust them to source from sustainable, unpolluted sources.

My favorite spice! LOVE that I can get it in large quantities, ground. Perfection.
Thanks for reviewing Anna! It's great to hear that you are enjoying our Cardamom powder!
I use it in a herbal tea recipe from my Ayurvedic doc. I love that it's organic. It's aromatic and effective in the tea combination.
banyan always provides quality material.
You can tell the difference between banyan herbs and store herbs. Once you get used to the quality, it’s not worth going back to the store. Besides if you’re going to use a ton of cardamom it’s better to buy in bulk. AND if you have high pitta you will need cardamom every day!
Hi Susie! Thank you for your review and taking the time to share your experience. We’re thrilled to know you’re pleased with the quality of our herbs!
Though our Cardamom’s heating, its sweet and pungent rasa (taste) makes this lovely spice balancing for all doshas. Keep in mind that it can aggravate pitta, in excess. Here’s to keeping pitta cool, calm and happily balanced!
Delicious cardamom sweet, cooling an absolute for Chai and great addition to oatmeal pairs so well with cinnamon!
Thank you Banyan Botanicals for the high quantity!
Like all products from Banyan, a company which practices sustainable farming, this is excellent. Smalls fresh when the package is opened and it is extremely flavorful when added to meals.
Just the best aroma and freshest cardamom that i ever tasted !
I suffer from what is likely low acid and my esophagus tends to trap air in my digestive tract, causing bloating and belching that can be very uncomfortable. I have tried bitters and they offer some relief, but have not resolved the issue. The cardamom, on the other hand, has worked well to settle my not only my stomach, but my digestive tract as well, moving trapped air out of this area within minutes. I am very happy with these results!
This spice is better than any cardamom I have used in the past has strong flavor which is a plus...Thank.
What is the expiration date for Cardamom? Also, is 1/2 pound the smallest amount you sell? And is it actually 1/2 pounds of Cardamom? Thank you.
Hi Judy,
Great questions! Yes, the 1/2lb of Cardamom is the smallest size we carry.
As for your other question, we do not state an expiration date on our bulk herbs. In general, herbs are at their highest potency at the time of harvest and will slowly degrade over time. If kept in airtight containers and out of direct sunlight, they can remain usable for many years. However, for best results, we suggest using our bulk herbs within two years of purchase.
We hope you find this helpful! Please reach out if you have further questions.
Be well!
