From theCardamom Hills of Idukki.

Our pods come from family farms at 1,200 metres in the Western Ghats, where mist, monsoon, and shade combine to produce cardamom with unmatched essential oil content. We hand-pick only the brightest green pods, sun-dry them gently to lock in aroma, and pack within 14 days of harvest.

Open a pod and you'll smell why Idukki cardamom is exported to royal kitchens across the Middle East.

Intensity & aroma profile

Sweet, fragrant, floral.

Cardamom intensity is medium — 3 out of 5 — but the aroma is unmatched. Sweet, eucalyptus-like, with floral and slightly piney undertones.

A single pod transforms a cup of chai. Two pods elevate a payasam. Five pods scent an entire pot of biryani rice. The trick: crack the pods rather than grind them, to release aroma slowly during cooking.
