Green Cardamom (5-6 mm)

Green Cardamom (5–6 mm) is a premium-grade spice known for its small yet intensely aromatic pods. Although smaller in size compared to larger grades, these cardamom pods pack a strong and concentrated flavor, making them a preferred choice for both household and industrial use. They are especially valued in the preparation of masala chai, desserts, baked goods, spice blends, and savory dishes, as well as in flavoring coffee in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Harvested from trusted plantations in India’s fertile regions, these cardamom pods are handpicked to ensure uniformity in size, bright green color, and natural aroma. The small size of the pods does not compromise their essential oil content, which remains rich and potent, delivering a full-bodied, sweet, and slightly citrusy taste.

The 5–6 mm grade is widely chosen by tea manufacturers, sweet makers, and spice companies due to its cost-effectiveness without compromising quality. Its shelf life, when stored properly in cool, dry conditions, ensures long-lasting freshness. The careful post-harvest handling, cleaning, and grading guarantee that the product remains pure, hygienic, and free from contaminants, meeting both domestic and export standards.
