Green Cardamom

Green cardamom (Elaichi) is known as the "Queen of Spices" and is one of the most valuable and aromatic spices in global trade. Prized for its intensely sweet, floral, and slightly minty aroma, it is a premium ingredient in confectionery, bakery, beverages, masala blends, and pharmaceutical applications worldwide, commanding one of the highest price points among spices.

Geodhara International exports premium green cardamom sourced from the high-altitude plantations of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Available in grades including 7 mm, 8 mm, and Extra Bold, each consignment is hand-sorted, machine-cleaned, and tested for moisture content and volatile oil levels to deliver consistent, export-grade quality for discerning international buyers.

We supply importers, spice wholesalers, food manufacturers, confectioners, and distributors across the Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Americas with bulk supply, competitive pricing, and complete export documentation.
