Nutrients in Cardamom Pods
A side benefit of the great flavor of cardamom is its mineral content. Ten grams of cardamom (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) provides about five percent of your daily required zinc, magnesium, and iron according to the
USDA nutrient database. Most of us do not consume enough cardamom for it to make a dramatic impact on our nutrient intake, but it does add in small ways to the minerals in our diet.
