4 x Krydda Kardemumma Malen Påse 18g (0.6 oz) Santa Maria – Ground Cardamom for Swedish Baking & Cooking

Description

Santa Maria Kardemumma Malen is a finely ground cardamom spice with a warm, aromatic and gently sweet flavour. It is one of the most important spices in traditional Swedish baking and is especially associated with soft buns, cakes, cookies and festive breads.

Ground cardamom is an essential ingredient in Swedish favourites such as kardemummabullar, kanelbullar, vetebröd, semlor and lussekatter. Its distinctive fragrance complements butter, sugar, cinnamon, almond, vanilla and saffron beautifully.

The spice is already finely ground and ready to use, making it easy to distribute evenly throughout doughs, batters, fillings and drinks. There is no need to remove seeds from pods or grind them separately.

Cardamom is not limited to sweet baking. Its rich and aromatic flavour also works well in coffee, tea, porridge, rice dishes, fruit desserts, savoury stews and recipes inspired by Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

This generous multipack contains 4 x 18g bags, providing a combined net weight of 72g (2.5 oz). It is ideal for frequent home bakers, larger baking projects, Swedish holiday recipes and anyone who wants to keep several sealed bags available in the pantry.

Why You’ll Love It

Cardamom is one of the defining flavours of Swedish baking. Even a relatively small amount can give buns, cakes and cookies their familiar warm and aromatic character.

Santa Maria’s ground cardamom is ready to measure and mix directly into recipes. The fine texture helps the spice distribute evenly throughout dough, reducing the risk of strongly flavoured pockets.

Its flavour is distinctive but highly versatile. It can add depth to buttery bun dough, complement cinnamon in a filling or provide aromatic contrast in recipes containing citrus, berries, chocolate or almond.

The spice is equally useful outside baking. Add a small amount to coffee, tea, porridge or warm milk, or use it to season rice dishes, curries and savoury stews.

With four individually packaged bags included, this multipack provides a generous supply for repeated batches and larger projects while allowing the remaining bags to stay sealed until needed.

What Is Cardamom?

Cardamom is an aromatic spice made from the seeds of plants belonging to the ginger family.

The small seeds have an intense fragrance and a complex flavour that may be described as:

• Warm
• Sweet
• Floral
• Citrusy
• Gently peppery
• Slightly eucalyptus-like

Because the flavour is concentrated, cardamom is normally used in relatively small amounts.

Ground cardamom is especially convenient for baking because it can be mixed evenly with flour, sugar and other dry ingredients.

Cardamom in Swedish Baking

Cardamom has a particularly important place in Swedish baking culture.

It is commonly added directly to the dough used for Swedish wheat buns, providing the aromatic foundation for many familiar fika favourites.

It is especially associated with:

• Kardemummabullar
• Kanelbullar
• Vetelängder
• Semla buns
• Saffron buns
• Sweet breakfast breads
• Traditional cakes and cookies

Some recipes use cardamom only in the dough, while others also include it in the filling or sprinkle it over the finished buns.

The four-bag quantity is especially practical for frequent fika baking, seasonal recipes and preparing several large batches of buns.

Flavour and Aroma

Santa Maria Ground Cardamom has a warm and clearly aromatic flavour.

It provides fragrance and gentle complexity without the heat associated with chilli or black pepper.

The flavour works particularly well with:

• Cinnamon
• Vanilla
• Almond
• Saffron
• Ginger
• Cloves
• Citrus
• Chocolate
• Apples
• Pears
• Berries
• Coffee

The aroma becomes especially noticeable when the spice is combined with warm dough, melted butter or hot drinks.

Ground cardamom.

Ingredients and product information may change. Always check the ingredient declaration printed on the original packaging before use.

Allergy Information

No major allergens are listed in the current ingredient declaration.

Customers with allergies, intolerances or specific dietary requirements should always inspect the original packaging before use.

Ingredients, manufacturing information and precautionary allergen statements may change over time.

Dietary Information

The declared ingredient is cardamom.

The spice itself is suitable for vegan and vegetarian recipes. The dietary suitability of the finished dish depends on all the other ingredients used.

Always inspect the original packaging when purchasing for a specific dietary requirement.

Nutritional Information

A standard nutritional declaration is not normally provided for this product.

Ground cardamom is used as a seasoning in small quantities rather than consumed as an individual serving.

Always refer to the original packaging for the most current product information.

How to Use

Measure the ground cardamom according to the recipe.

It can be mixed directly into:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Dough
• Cake batter
• Bun filling
• Whipped cream
• Custard
• Porridge
• Coffee grounds
• Tea and warm drinks
• Curry sauces
• Rice dishes

For baking, mixing the spice with the flour or sugar before adding the wet ingredients can help distribute the flavour evenly.

Cardamom has a concentrated flavour, so begin with the quantity stated in the recipe rather than adding a large amount at once.

Swedish Baking Suggestions

Use Santa Maria Ground Cardamom when preparing:

• Swedish cardamom buns
• Cinnamon buns
• Semla buns
• Saffron buns
• Sweet braided loaves
• Vanilla buns
• Almond-filled buns
• Sponge cakes
• Butter cookies
• Apple cakes
• Pear cakes
• Christmas breads
• Sweet breakfast rolls

For traditional Swedish buns, add cardamom to the dough and finish the shaped buns with beaten egg and pearl sugar before baking.

The four-bag format is especially useful for repeated batches, holiday baking, larger celebrations and preparing several varieties of Swedish fika pastries.

Cardamom Coffee

Cardamom can add a warm and aromatic flavour to freshly brewed coffee.

Mix a small amount of ground cardamom with the coffee grounds before brewing.

A suggested starting point is approximately:

• 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
• For approximately 4 cups of coffee

The amount can be adjusted according to personal preference and the strength of the coffee.

Cardamom coffee pairs particularly well with cinnamon buns, cardamom buns, chocolate cake and other Swedish fika treats.

Additional Uses

Ground cardamom can also be used to flavour:

• Hot chocolate
• Chai-style tea
• Warm milk
• Rice pudding
• Oatmeal and porridge
• Yoghurt
• Fruit compotes
• Apple and pear desserts
• Pancakes and waffles
• Homemade granola
• Ice cream
• Custard
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate desserts

In savoury cooking, it works well in:

• Curries
• Rice dishes
• Lentil dishes
• Lamb dishes
• Chicken dishes
• Vegetable stews
• Marinades
• Spice mixtures

Use it sparingly in savoury dishes so that it complements rather than overwhelms the other ingredients.

Ground Cardamom Compared with Cardamom Seeds

Ground cardamom and cardamom seeds provide the same characteristic spice flavour, but they are prepared differently.

Ground cardamom:

• Ready to use immediately
• Easy to measure
• Blends evenly into dough and batter
• Convenient for everyday baking
• Does not require grinding equipment

Cardamom seeds:

• Can be freshly ground before use
• May provide a coarser texture
• Allow the baker to control the grind
• Require additional preparation

Ground cardamom is particularly convenient for recipes where a smooth and evenly distributed flavour is preferred.

Storage

Store the unopened bags in a cool, dry and dark place away from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Close an opened bag tightly immediately after use.

Ground spices gradually lose aroma after exposure to air, so the package should remain properly sealed between uses.

Protect the cardamom from:

• Steam
• Humidity
• Direct sunlight
• Strong-smelling foods
• Excessive heat
• Perfumed cleaning products

Always use a clean, dry spoon when measuring.

Placing an opened bag inside an airtight spice container can provide additional protection.

Keep the remaining unopened bags sealed until needed for the best possible flavour and aroma.

Always observe the best-before date and storage instructions printed on the original packaging.
