ELETTARIA CARDAMOMUM · IDUKKI, KERALA
Green Cardamom — graded by the millimetre, tested by the lot.
Cardamom is priced on size and colour, and rejected on pesticides — Gulf and EU alerts are overwhelmingly residue-led. We grade by the millimetre, state colour honestly, and run the full residue panel before dispatch.
