Cardamom
Green Cardamom: The Gold Standard
Experience the world’s finest cardamom. Grown on the misty, high-altitude slopes of the Western Ghats, Alleppey Green Cardamom holds a prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) status—a guarantee of its elite origin and unmatched quality.
While ordinary cardamom loses its punch, our pods boast an exceptionally high essential oil content (7.5% to 11.3%). This delivers a deeply complex, intensely aromatic, and sweet-floral flavor profile that elevates any culinary creation.
Choose Your Grade
We meticulously hand-sort our harvest into distinct sizes to suit your exact needs:
Extra Bold (AGEB) | 8mm
Our crown jewel. Massive, plump, vibrant green pods bursting with maximum flavor and aroma. The ultimate choice for gourmet cooking and luxury gifting.
Bold (AGB) | 7.5mm – 8mm
The perfect daily luxury. Beautifully uniform pods that offer a striking appearance and an intense, rich aroma for premium kitchens.
Superior (AGS) | 6.5mm – 7.5mm
Medium-sized pods delivering the exact same iconic Alleppey flavor and aroma profile at a highly versatile everyday value.
