7mm - 8mm (Bold): The international export favorite. This grade offers a perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and high essential oil content, ideal for gourmet culinary applications.

6mm - 7mm (Small/Medium Bold): Frequently used in the confectionery and bakery industries. These pods provide the same intense aroma and flavor profile in a more compact size.

Grinding Grade / Seeds: Specifically processed for the production of pure cardamom powder and essential oil extraction, focused entirely on the chemical potency of the seeds.

The Quality-Controlled Process

Cardamom is a highly sensitive spice. Our processing emphasizes thermal stability to prevent bleaching and oil loss.

1. Hand-Picked Selection: We source only capsules harvested at the exact point of physiological maturity to ensure the seeds inside are fully developed and oil-rich.
2. Scientific Curing: The pods are dried in specialized temperature-controlled chambers (kilns). By maintaining a consistent, low-heat environment, we preserve the natural chlorophyll and prevent the pods from splitting.
3. Mechanical Cleaning & Polishing: Our pods undergo a gentle mechanical cleaning process to remove stalks and floral remnants without damaging the pod’s integrity.
4. Precision Grading: Using a multi-stage vibrating sieve system, the cardamom is sorted into precise millimeter grades (6mm to 8mm+), ensuring total uniformity in every batch.
5. Aroma-Lock Processing (For Powder): For our ground cardamom, we utilize cool-grinding technology to ensure the Cineole and Terpinyl Acetate aroma compounds do not dissipate during pulverization.
