Cardamom, the Queen of Spices

Green Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is among the world’s most prized spices, valued for its intense aroma, complex flavor profile, and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. Alongside saffron and vanilla, it ranks as one of the most expensive spices by weight — retailing up to USD $90 per kilogram.

Harvesting green cardamom is a labor-intensive process: each pod must be handpicked at the right stage of maturity, then carefully dried for up to 18 hours to preserve its signature deep green color and rich aroma.
