Premium Green Cardamom

Cardamom – The Queen of Spices

Cardamom is one of the world’s most valuable spices, prized for its distinctive aroma, rich flavor, and versatility across global cuisines.

It is the dried, ripe fruit (capsule) of a perennial, herbaceous, rhizomatous plant native to the evergreen forests of the Western Ghats in South India. Known as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom is a cornerstone of traditional Indian cooking and an essential export spice.

We cultivate and source premium-grade cardamom directly from our own farms and trusted partner farmers. Capsules are carefully harvested, electrically dried, and size-graded to meet domestic and international quality standards.


Cardamom Grades

Cardamom is carefully graded based on capsule size, color, and density, ensuring consistency for different market needs. Larger capsules typically offer stronger aroma, higher oil content, and premium value, while smaller grades are ideal for bulk and processing applications.
