Description

Cardamom seeds are a natural aromatic spice obtained from the seeds of Elettaria cardamomum, sourced from selected regions in Guatemala and Nigeria. The product is loose, with a greenish-yellow-brown color, a distinctive spicy aroma, and a rich flavor profile — slightly bitter with a subtle camphor note, free from foreign odors or aftertastes.

Known as the “queen of spices,” cardamom is widely used in the food industry, particularly in bakery, confectionery, beverages, and spice blends. It is also valued in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and herbal formulations for its natural origin, pleasant fragrance, and flavor-enhancing properties.
