Green Cardamom, also known as “True Cardamom” or “Ceylon Cardamom”, is one of the world’s most prestigious and aromatic spices, derived from the seeds of plants in the Zingiberaceae (ginger) family. Native to the Western Ghats of Southern India, cardamom has long been treasured for its distinct flavor, fragrance, and medicinal value.
At Anterra Commodities LLP, we are proud to supply premium-grade green cardamom to global buyers. Our cardamom is sourced from the finest plantations, carefully cleaned and graded, and exported with attention to freshness, essential oil content, and compliance with international standards.
Cardamom’s use dates back over 4000 years, with early mentions in ancient Egyptian rituals, where it was used for embalming, aromatic oils, and medicine. It reached Europe and Asia through spice trade routes, becoming a prized component of Middle Eastern, Indian, and Scandinavian cuisine.
India remains the largest producer and exporter of green cardamom, known for its bold aroma, vibrant color, and intense flavor.
