🌿 Green Cardamom (India Origin)
🔖 Product Description:
Green Cardamom, scientifically known as Elettaria cardamomum, is a highly aromatic and flavorful spice belonging to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). It is native to the Western Ghats of southern India and is considered one of the most premium spices in global trade, often referred to as the “Queen of Spices.”
Green cardamom consists of small green pods, each containing several black seeds rich in essential oils. The pods are typically harvested when they are still green and unripe to preserve their intense aroma and flavor. The quality of cardamom is judged by the size, color, aroma, and oil content of the pod and seeds.
India is among the largest producers of high-quality green cardamom, especially in the states of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. These regions, with their tropical climate, high humidity, and rich forest soils, provide ideal conditions for cultivating cardamom that meets international standards.
