Green Cardamom Export Guide: Bold Pods, Colour & Aroma
Understanding cardamom sizing (mm), colour retention and oil content so you receive aromatic, vibrant pods that meet GCC and EU expectations.
Cardamom Hills Origin
Green cardamom from the Western Ghats — Idukki, Wayanad and Coorg — is prized for its intense aroma and deep green colour, driven by cool, high-altitude cultivation.
Sizing & Colour
Pods are graded by size (6.5 mm to 8 mm+) and colour. Bold, green, well-filled pods with high volatile oil (above 6%) attract premium pricing, particularly in Gulf markets where appearance is paramount.
Whole Pods vs Seeds
Whole pods preserve aroma longer and suit retail and hospitality buyers; seeds suit food manufacturers and extraction. Both are supplied moisture-controlled to protect colour during transit.
Packing & MOQ
Vacuum or laminated packing protects volatile oils; MOQ from 2 MT. Cold-chain handling is available for premium consignments.
