Cardamom seed is the dried seed of the cardamom plant, a spice used in small quantities to flavour both sweet and savoury dishes across South Asian, Middle Eastern and Scandinavian cuisines. Because it is used in teaspoon-level amounts rather than as a main ingredient, per-100g figures reflect a concentrated nutrient profile: 295 kcal, 10.8 g of protein, 6.7 g of fat, 34.4 g of carbohydrates and a notably high 28 g of dietary fibre. Cardamom seed provides 1119 mg of potassium, 383 mg of calcium and 229 mg of magnesium per 100 g, as well as 21 mg of vitamin C. No glycemic index value is available, which is typical for spices consumed in negligible serving sizes. It is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in cardamom seed?
Dried cardamom seed contains 295 kcal per 100 g. In practice, a typical recipe uses around 2 g (roughly one teaspoon of ground cardamom), which contributes only about 6 kcal.
How much potassium is in cardamom seed?
Cardamom seed contains 1119 mg of potassium per 100 g, which is a high concentration for a spice. Given that it is used in small amounts, a single teaspoon delivers around 22 mg of potassium.
Is cardamom seed keto-friendly?
Yes, cardamom seed is listed as keto-compatible. Although it contains 34.4 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, the 28 g of fibre brings the net carbohydrate figure down considerably, and the tiny amounts used in cooking make its carbohydrate contribution to a meal negligible.
