Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Indian green cardamom preferred over Guatemalan cardamom in the Middle East?

Indian Alleppey green cardamom grows in natural bio-diverse forest shade, yielding pods with a richer concentration of essential oils (6% to 9% vs 3% to 5%) and a complex sweet-floral pungency prized for Arabic coffee.

How do you preserve the green color during long transit?

Our cardamom is packed in vacuum-sealed multi-barrier aluminum foil pouches inside sturdy cartons, shielding the pods from light, oxygen, and ambient humidity during voyage.

Can you ship cardamom via air freight for urgent inventory?

Yes, we regularly arrange expedited air cargo dispatches from Cochin and Mumbai international airports directly to Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, London, and Frankfurt.
