Cardamom, ground

Ground cardamom is a spice made from the dried seeds of the cardamom plant. It contains protein, fat and several minerals. Per 100g, the supplied data list 11g of protein, 6.7g of fat, 230mg of magnesium and 1120mg of potassium. These figures refer to the ground spice itself.

Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function, while potassium helps maintain fluid balance and normal muscle function. Cardamom is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so its contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the amounts shown per 100g. The full nutrient figures, including salt and other minerals, are in the tables below.
