Green Cardamom
Extra Bold, Bold, Superior and Common green cardamom, across Malabar, Mysore, Vazhukka and Nadan varieties.
Extra Bold is the grade most premium retail and Middle Eastern export buyers specify — large pods, strong oil retention, priced at a real premium over lower grades. Common grade covers smaller, less visually uniform pods and is priced for bulk grinding where pod size doesn't affect the ground product.
Malabar and Mysore are the two dominant Indian growing regions behind most of our volume; Vazhukka and Nadan are more localized varieties available in smaller quantities. Tell us your target market — Middle Eastern buyers in particular are often specific about grade and origin together, not just one or the other.
