Idukki · Cardamom hills, Kerala
Green Cardamom
The queen of spices — fragrant, plump and unmistakably Kerala.
Origin & craft
From the hills to your shelf
The Cardamom Hills of Idukki are one of the very few places on earth where Elettaria cardamomum grows wild beneath the shade canopy. We work with estates that hand-pick pods at the right moment — green enough to keep their colour after curing, mature enough to carry deep, citrus-eucalyptus aroma.
Pods are cured in low-temperature houses, graded on bolt size, and sorted to remove splits and discoloured shells. What you receive is plump, tightly closed, lab-tested for oil content — and ready for retail packs, masala blends or chai houses.
