Product Specification:

1. Product Overview

Black Cardamom, known as Badi Elaichi in India, is a bold and smoky spice derived from the dried seed pods of the Amomum subulatum plant. Unlike green cardamom, black cardamom has a deeper, earthier flavor with hints of resin and camphor, making it an essential ingredient in robust Indian dishes.

We are a manufacturer and exporter based in Gujarat, India, offering premium-quality whole black cardamom pods that are naturally dried, carefully sorted, and packed to maintain aroma, oil content, and freshness. Our product is widely preferred in domestic and international markets for both culinary and industrial use.


2. Uses

  • Culinary: Commonly used in Indian curries, biryanis, lentil dishes, and spice blends like garam masala. It adds a smoky, aromatic depth to rich dishes and gravies.
  • Medicinal: Traditionally used to aid digestion, alleviate respiratory issues, and improve oral health due to its antimicrobial properties.
  • Industrial: Used in spice processing, Ayurvedic formulations, and flavoring in food and beverage industries.

3. Regions and Export Information
