True Cardamom

We provide premium quality true cardamom, fondly called the "Queen of Spices" for its rich aroma and royal presence in Indian cooking. True cardamom, also known as green cardamom, comes from the Elettaria cardamomum plant and is mainly grown in the lush hills of Kerala. With its intense fragrance and sweet, cooling flavour, this spice has been a prized ingredient in Indian kitchens for centuries.

Here are some key characteristics of BCR True Cardamom:

1. Bold and plump pods: BCR sources true cardamom with well-filled, bold pods rather than shrivelled or undersized ones. Bigger, plumper pods mean more seeds inside, which directly translates to stronger aroma in your cooking.
2. Naturally cured, not artificially bleached: Many cardamom pods in the market are bleached to look uniformly white or pale for appearance. BCR's cardamom retains its natural green shade, a sign that the pods have been dried and cured the traditional way without chemical treatment.
3. High volatile oil content: The strength of cardamom comes from its volatile oil, which fades quickly once pods are broken or exposed to air. BCR packs cardamom soon after processing to lock in this oil, so the aroma stays intact till it reaches your kitchen.
4. Consistent pod size for even cooking: BCR grades its cardamom to keep pod sizes consistent within each pack. This matters in practice, as evenly sized pods release their flavour at the same rate, whether used whole in biryani or ground for masala.
5. Low moisture, long shelf life: BCR cardamom is dried to the right moisture level, which prevents early loss of fragrance and keeps the pods from turning brittle or mouldy during storage, so a single pack stays usable for a longer time.
