• Product Overview: Elaichi, or green cardamom, is called the queen of spices for its sweet, floral and incredibly aromatic character. Our green cardamom pods are plump and heavy with tiny black seeds, which hold the essential oils that give the spice its legendary fragrance. It is an essential in Indian sweets, chai and festive cooking.

• Ingredients: Green Cardamom.

• Flavour & Aroma: Green cardamom is sweet, floral and cooling with citrus, mint and eucalyptus notes. It leaves a lingering fresh taste in the mouth, and its perfume is strong enough to flavour milk, rice or sweets with just a few pods.

• Best Uses & Recipe Ideas:
◦ Masala chai: crush a pod or two with ginger for a fragrant, comforting cup.
◦ Sweets and desserts: kheer, halwa, gulab jamun syrup, laddoo, barfi, shrikhand and kulfi all depend on elaichi.
◦ Biryani and pulao: add whole pods to the ghee tadka for a delicate floral aroma.
◦ Coffee and milk: a pinch of ground cardamom lifts coffee, milkshakes and warm milk.
◦ Baking: use ground seeds in cakes, cookies and breads.

• Traditional Use & Wellness Note: Elaichi is traditionally chewed as a mouth freshener after meals and is offered at celebrations and in pooja. In Indian households it is part of many festive and winter foods. Enjoy it as a flavouring in everyday food.

• Cooking Tips: For the strongest flavour, remove the seeds and grind just before using, as ground cardamom loses its aroma quickly. Keep a few whole pods in your sugar jar to naturally scent it.

• Quality & Purity: Green Cardamom (Elaichi) is cleaned, sorted and carefully packed so that every pack delivers uniform, premium-quality spice with natural aroma. We do not add artificial colours, artificial flavours or fillers, so what you receive is the pure ingredient listed above and nothing else.

• Storage & Shelf Life: Keep Green Cardamom (Elaichi) in a clean, dry, airtight glass or steel jar away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Close the lid tightly after every use and always use a dry spoon. Stored properly, whole spices hold their aroma and flavour far longer than ground ones.

• Kitchen Handy Tip: Whole spices are best bought in smaller quantities and replenished regularly, so that you always cook with fresh, fragrant spice rather than a stale one.

• Dietary Suitability: Made entirely from a single plant-based ingredient, Green Cardamom (Elaichi) is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. It contains no added sugar and no artificial additives, and it fits easily into traditional Indian, continental and Asian home cooking.

• Usage Guide: whole spices are strong, so begin with a small amount, usually a pinch to one teaspoon for a family-sized dish, depending on the recipe. You can always add more later, but you cannot take it out once the dish is cooked.

• Bulk & Gifting: popular with families who stock up for the season, with caterers who need dependable quality, and with customers who like to assemble their own masala boxes or festive hampers.

• Why Choose This: Suitable for home kitchens, restaurants, caterers, tiffin services and festive cooking. Buy it in the pack size that suits your needs and enjoy the same consistent taste in every meal. It also makes a thoughtful addition to a gift hamper of Indian spices.

• Note: Please check the pack label for net weight, batch details, best-before date and allergen information before use. Images are for representation only; the colour and size of natural products can vary slightly from batch to batch.
