About
Ground cardamom is an aromatic spice milled from small seed pods that weighs about half as much as water.
Ground cardamom comes from the crushed seeds of plants in the ginger family. It has a bulk density of about 28 pounds per cubic foot (0.45 grams per milliliter), leaving plenty of air between the particles. A full US cup weighs around 3.7 ounces (106 grams), which is roughly half the weight of a cup of table salt. Because it settles loosely, it takes up much more volume for its weight than denser granulated staples.
From Wikipedia
Cardamom, sometimes cardamon or cardamum, is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia.
