Cardamom processing involves crushing the fruits to produce cardamom oil and oleoresin, which are used as alternatives to the whole spice for flavoring various processed foods, condiments, beverages, tobacco, and in cosmetics like soaps and lotions. The oil and oleoresin extracted from crushed cardamom fruits are mainly used as substitutes for ground cardamom in flavoring a wide range of processed, frozen, and pre-packaged foods as well as beverages.
