After vanilla and saffron, cardamom — fondly known in every Indian home as elaichi — holds the distinction of being the world’s third most expensive spice. But its true value lies far beyond its price. With a rich heritage spanning over 4,000 years, cardamom is not only a prized culinary ingredient but also a powerful medicinal spice, deeply embedded in both Ayurveda and modern wellness practices.

An Ancient Spice with Modern Superpowers

Cardamom has long been used to flavour food and support digestion, but few realise that it is also a true nutritional powerhouse.

A 100g serving of pure cardamom — such as that offered by Bharat Masala’s Green Cardamom contains:

• 67g of carbohydrates
• 28g of dietary fibre
• 10g of protein
• Vitamins A and C
• A variety of minerals including iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, potassium, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus

Among these, iron and copper are especially vital, as they play crucial roles in the production of red blood cells. A deficiency in either mineral can lead to fatigue or even anaemia. Amazingly, 100g of Bharat Gujarati Cardamom can provide up to 175% of the daily iron requirement!

That said, moderation is essential. Ayurveda and nutritionists recommend a daily intake of around 3g of ground cardamom or 1–2 whole pods to enjoy its benefits without overconsumption.

Balancing Body & Mind — The Ayurvedic Way

In Ayurvedic tradition, cardamom is classified as tridoshic, meaning it helps balance Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — the three fundamental energies of the body. With its naturally warming and calming properties, cardamom supports digestive fire (Agni), clears toxins (Ama), and enhances vitality and mental clarity.

Its effects are not just physical — cardamom’s rich aroma rejuvenates the senses, promoting emotional well-being and inner peace.
