Amma Cacao 500g or Amma Cardamom 500g? A Simple Guide

If you're looking at the Amma 500g blocks and wondering whether to go for the regular cacao or the cardamom, the main difference is simple: one lets the cacao speak for itself, while the other brings in that lovely cardamom flavour.

I'd start here if you haven't tried Amma before. It's a good way to get to know the cacao without an added spice flavour. You can make it as simply as you like and find the amount that suits you.

Then there's the cardamom. If you like the smell and taste of cardamom, this is a lovely option. It's a little different to your usual cacao cup, without needing to make anything complicated.

See the Amma Cardamom 500g block.

Which one would I pick?

For a first try, probably the regular. If you already love cardamom, I'd go for that. Both are 500g blocks, so there's plenty there for your own cacao routine or to share.

New to preparing cacao? I've put together a simple guide to making it at home. If you want to explore more Amma products, you can also read about the five smaller Amma bars or browse our Amma India collection.

And if you're not sure which one is for you, drop me a WhatsApp. Happy to help.

You can also find us on TikTok, where we share bits from Mother Earth, products and everyday cacao moments.
