CARDAMOM BLACK

Black cardamom, also known as Badi Elaichi, is one of the main spices used in cooking. The stronger counterpart of green cardamom, black cardamom has a strong flavour and a sweet smell. It lends a smoky flavour and is a common sight across kitchens in India. Mostly used in savoury dishes, this spice enhances the flavour of food. Organic black cardamom is popular since synthetic chemicals and excessive fertilizers are not used for cultivation.

Black cardamom comes in a pod form, which has seeds inside it just like green cardamom. Since black cardamom is already dried, there’s no need to peel off the cover before cooking. The best way to use black cardamom is to use it as a whole spice. In herbal teas, black cardamom gives an aroma to food. Black cardamom can also be roasted and mixed with other spices to make an aromatic spice mix. Black cardamom is especially prominent in north Indian cuisine in recipes, like Chhole, Rajma, etc. Masala chai and spiced coffee also use black cardamom.

Black cardamom or Kali Elaichi manufacturers procure the spice mainly from the Eastern Himalayan region. Some processing, like sun drying, is required before it is packaged for use. VLC Spices is one of the best black cardamom suppliers and manufacturers. We ensure the quality of our products through all processes, whether it is transportation, processing, or packaging. We do not use artificial flavours or colours. We follow the food safety protocols for which we have various certificates from relevant food bodies. Our experienced staff carefully handles the processing of the spices, at every stage. We offer best quality products for both bulk orders and customized packaging. Get in touch with us today.
