Robust, smoky, and intensely aromatic, Black Cardamom—known in India as “Badi Elaichi”—is one of the most powerful and distinctive spices in the world. Unlike its delicate green cousin, black cardamom is bold and earthy, adding depth and complexity to both traditional Indian dishes and international cuisines.
At Earthly Essence India, we bring you Premium Quality Black Cardamom Pods, handpicked from the pristine hills of Idukki, Kerala, and the North Eastern regions of India, where the cool climate and rich soil produce cardamom of unmatched flavor and potency. Carefully dried over open flames to develop its signature smoky aroma, our black cardamom is 100% natural, chemical-free, and hygienically packed to retain its full-bodied essence.
Black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) belongs to the ginger family and has been cultivated for centuries across the Himalayan regions of India, Bhutan, and Nepal. Unlike green cardamom, which is harvested and dried carefully in controlled environments, black cardamom pods are traditionally smoke-dried over open fire, giving them their unique smoky, resinous, and bold profile.
In India, Kerala’s Idukki district and the North Eastern states are famous for producing black cardamom with large pods, intense aroma, and powerful flavor. These pods have been treasured for centuries not only as a spice but also as a natural medicine in Ayurveda and traditional healing systems.
