Cardamom powder is used as an ingredient in desserts, such as rice pudding, and in sweet potatoes, curries, stews and garam masala, a spice mixture used in Indian cuisine. The pungent spice lends a citrusy or minty flavor to foods.
Baby powder is an astringent powder used for preventing diaper rash, as a deodorant, and for other cosmetic uses. It may be composed of talc (in which case it is also called talcum powder) or corn starch. Talcum powder is dangerous if inhaled since it may cause aspiration pneumonia or granuloma. Drugs such as cocaine are sometimes cut with talcum powder. It is also an ingredient in counterfeit pharmaceuticals and food products as a bulking agent in order to give the appearance of a larger quantity than actually present.
