Cardamom (Green Elaichi) — Exporter from India
Cardamom — the Queen of Spices and India’s most aromatically complex and commercially valuable whole spice per kilogram — holds an irreplaceable position in the global spice trade as the defining flavour ingredient of Middle Eastern chai and gahwa, the classic Scandinavian baking tradition, Indian mithai and masala chai culture, and the rapidly expanding global cardamom-flavoured premium beverage, confectionery, and health supplement market worldwide. India’s Idukki district in Kerala produces 85-90% of the nation’s small cardamom output — and the GI-tagged Alleppey Green Cardamom and Coorg Green Cardamom from this legendary growing region are universally recognised as the world’s finest quality small cardamom varieties, valued for their naturally high volatile oil content of 5-8%, intensely sweet, floral, and camphoraceous aromatic profile, and the distinctive flavour complexity that distinguishes Indian cardamom from Guatemalan cardamom in every blind tasting and quality evaluation conducted by the world’s leading spice importers and food manufacturers. Green cardamom exports from India have shown the strongest sustained growth of any Indian spice category over the past five years, with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Sweden, and Germany representing the largest and most consistent importing markets for premium Indian cardamom.
As a direct Green Cardamom exporter from India, Indiafeast Millers Private Limited sources Alleppey Green and Coorg Green GI-tagged cardamom from Kerala’s Idukki district and processes every batch at our ISO, FSSAI, and APEDA-certified facility with Spices Board India registration — grading by size (Bold 8mm+, Medium 6-8mm, Small), volatile oil testing (min 5%), and moisture verification (max 12%) before export packing. Available in 25 KG and 50 KG PP bags with private label options for chai brands and spice importers across 14+ countries — with flexible MOQ and full documentation.
