Green Cardamom
Aromatic green cardamom from the high-altitude estates of Idukki and the Western Ghats, graded 6 mm to 8 mm+ with deep green colour retention. Careful low-temperature curing preserves the volatile oils that define premium cardamom in Gulf and European markets.
Overview
Like all our spices, it is sourced against a written specification, sortex-cleaned, inspected at origin and released only with a lot-specific certificate of analysis from an NABL-accredited laboratory. Steam-sterilised, organic, halal and kosher lots can be arranged on request.
