🌿 Cardamom Small Size 6mm – Earthly Essence India

Cardamom, the “Queen of Spices”, holds a place of pride in Indian kitchens and global cuisines. Its refreshing aroma, sweet citrusy notes, and warm flavor make it one of the most versatile and treasured spices. While large pods are often reserved for premium gourmet use, the small size 6mm cardamom offers the same authentic aroma and taste at a more affordable price, making it a favorite for everyday cooking, households, tea shops, and bulk use.

At Earthly Essence India, we bring you Cardamom Small Size 6mm, sourced directly from the lush green plantations of Idukki, Kerala. These smaller pods may be modest in size but are rich in essential oils, offering excellent flavor and fragrance for daily use.
