Whole Green Cardamom Price Per Metric Ton $8,000

Our whole green cardamom reflects top tier, export grade green cardamom pods (often referred to as the “Queen of Spices”) sourced directly from premier growing origins for commercial spice blenders, food manufacturers, and international wholesale distributors.

Because cardamom pricing fluctuates based on harvest yields, pod size grade (e.g., 7mm, 8mm, Bold, Extra Bold), and essential oil content, we provide structured, competitive quotation tiers for industrial scale buyers.

Green Cardamom Specifications & Quality Grades

To ensure maximum volatile oil retention and flavor impact, our whole green cardamom meets strict export specifications:

• Pod Size Grades:

  • Extra Bold (8mm and above)

  • Bold (7mm to 8mm)

  • Medium / Standard (6mm to 7mm)

• Color & Appearance: Natural bright green exterior, plump pods, free from split seams, discoloration, or hollow pods.

• Aroma & Volatile Oils: Rich, pungent, eucalyptus-like cineole aroma with high essential oil content (typically  6% to 8%).

• Moisture Content: Strictly controlled below  11% to prevent mold growth and preserve essential oils during long sea voyages.

• Foreign Matter & Defects: Mechanically cleaned and sorted; maximum 1% to 2% empty or light pods and zero extraneous matter.

Commercial Packaging for Container Shipping

To protect delicate green cardamom pods and lock in volatile oils during international transit, we utilize heavy-duty export packaging:

• Jute Bags Lined with Polythene: Traditional breathable jute bags lined with food-grade moisture-barrier liners (typically 25 kg to 50 kg net weight per bag).

• Corrugated Master Cartons: Available for air freight or specialized warehouse storage.

• Containerized Logistics: Securely loaded 20ft dry containers equipped with desiccant blankets to protect cargo from condensation and humidity shifts during ocean transit.
