Which cardamom grade is best for chai and tea brands?

Green Cardamom 8mm+ or 7mm from Kerala is the preferred grade for chai and tea brands because of high oil content and intense aroma. When crushed or simmered in masala chai, these grades release maximum flavour. For volume buyers and lower budgets, Green 6mm is a cost-effective alternative.

Which cardamom is best for biryani and restaurant use?

Biryani restaurants prefer a mix: Green Cardamom 7mm or 8mm for overall fragrance + Black Cardamom (Badi Elaichi) for the distinctive smoky note that characterizes premium biryani. Some kitchens use only black cardamom for cost efficiency. Both grades are sourced from Indian Himalayan regions.

What is the MOQ for cardamom wholesale?

Minimum order quantity for cardamom is 5 kg. Bulk discount tiers: 5 kg (entry), 25 kg (mid discount), 50 kg (bulk), 100+ kg (custom quote / private label). Larger quantities get better per-kg rates across every grade.

Is cardamom HSN-coded for GST purposes?

Yes. Green cardamom (small) is HSN 09083110; black cardamom and large cardamom are HSN 09083210. Every wholesale order includes proper GST invoice with buyer GSTIN. Input tax credit is eligible under standard GST rules.

How should I store bulk cardamom?

Store cardamom in airtight, food-grade containers in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture. Shelf life: 8-12 months at ambient temperature, 18+ months in refrigerated conditions. Keep away from strong-smelling products — cardamom absorbs odours easily. For retail, vacuum or nitrogen-flushed packaging preserves aroma.

Can you supply cardamom to mithai shops and sweet brands?

Yes. Mithai shops and sweet brands are among our regular customers. They prefer Bleached White Cardamom (processed), which blends seamlessly into kheer, payesh, and halwa without visible brown specks. We handle weekly bulk shipments for mithai chains across Delhi NCR and pan-India.

Do FMCG and spice blending companies order from you?

Yes. FMCG spice brands, masala blenders, and commercial kitchens are core customers. For large volumes (100+ kg), we offer private-label packaging and custom grading. MOQ 100 kg for private label; turnaround 2-3 weeks from artwork approval.

Why don’t you show cardamom prices on the website?

Cardamom is a globally traded spice. Prices shift weekly based on Kerala harvests, international demand, and currency fluctuations. Static website prices go stale within days and mislead buyers. Instead we quote live rates on every call — one number, valid for 24 hours, honoured on GST invoice.

Which cardamom origin has the highest aroma?

Kerala green cardamom is traditionally considered the most aromatic, especially the larger 8mm+ pods. Guatemala cardamom is also excellent but with slightly different flavour profile. For maximum aroma in tea blends and spice mixes, Kerala Green 8mm+ is the premium choice.

Do you offer cardamom in smaller packaging for retail testing?

Our minimum wholesale order is 5 kg. For smaller retail SKUs and sampling, please check our retail shop at /shop?category=spices for 100g–500g premium cardamom packs.
