Cardamom Seeds

Discover the Essence of Idukki Cardamom Farming:

Nestled in the lush landscapes of Idukki, a region renowned for its pristine beauty in Kerala, India, our cardamom farming captures the essence of tradition, sustainability, and a rich agricultural heritage. Idukki, with its elevation and favourable climate, provides the perfect conditions for cultivating this aromatic spice, known as the “Queen of Spices.”

Cultivation Process

The cardamom plant, scientifically known as Elettaria cardamomum, thrives in the cool, misty hills of Idukki. Our dedicated farmers employ time- honoured agricultural practices passed down through generations to cultivate this precious spice. The plants are meticulously tended to in shaded plantations, allowing them to flourish under the natural canopy of towering trees.

• Harvesting: The cardamom manufacturing process commences with the careful harvesting of cardamom pods. Grown in tropical regions around the world, the green pods are handpicked at the peak of ripeness to ensure optimal flavour and aroma. The harvested pods, containing the precious cardamom seeds, are then collected for further processing.
• Drying: Once harvested, the green cardamom pods undergo a carefully monitored drying process. The drying period is crucial, as it not only enhances the flavour and aroma but also contributes to the characteristic colour change from green to a pale beige.
• De-husking: Following the drying phase, the cardamom pods are subjected to the de-husking process. This involves removing the outer shell to unveil the small, black seeds within. The seeds are the prized part of the cardamom plant that holds the distinctive flavour and aroma.
• Grading and Sorting: After de-husking, the cardamom seeds undergo a meticulous grading and sorting process. This step ensures that only the highest quality seeds make it to the market. Seeds are sorted based on size, colour, and overall appearance to meet specific quality standards.
