Green Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), known as the “Queen of Spices,” is an aromatic and highly valued spice sourced from the lush plantations of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka in India. At P & H Exports, we supply premium Indian-origin green cardamom seeds known for their bold size (typically 8.5mm+), vibrant green color, and exceptional aroma retention. Our cardamom undergoes strict hygienic processing including handpicking, machine cleaning, and grading to ensure uniformly bold pods rich in essential oils such as cineole and terpinyl acetate. These essential oils contribute to its signature sweet, spicy, and refreshing flavor profile. Available in various grades including Bold (8mm+), Superior (7.5-8mm), and mixed grades (7mm and below), our cardamom is ideal for food processing, tea blends, confectionery, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. We offer bulk packaging (5kg, 10kg, 25kg PP bags with liners) and customized consumer packaging with compliance to international quality standards including EU, Gulf, and U.S. markets. Our green cardamom is popular for culinary uses in Indian sweets, masala chai, Middle Eastern cuisine, and as a flavoring agent, as well as for digestive, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in Ayurveda and pharmaceutical applications.
