Back Cardamom, also known as Malabar Cardamom, is a prized spice indigenous to the Western Ghats of India. Unlike its green counterpart, Back Cardamom undergoes a curing process that turns its husk a deep brown and intensifies its aroma. This sun-drying technique concentrates the essential oils within the pod, resulting in a complex flavor profile characterized by smoky, medicinal, and eucalyptus notes. Back cardamom, also known as Amomum repens or green cardamom, reigns supreme as a coveted spice in the global culinary scene. Cultivated in the verdant terrains of India, particularly in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, this emerald-hued jewel boasts an intense aroma and complex flavor profile that elevates countless dishes. Here's a detailed exploration of back cardamom, specifically focusing on its export potential from India: Back cardamom belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, closely related to ginger and turmeric. The plant itself is a herbaceous perennial with broad, green leaves and white flowers that mature into capsule-like fruits. These fruits, harvested when green and immature, are the source of the prized spice. Inside each fruit lie numerous black seeds, the actual cardamom kernels, possessing the characteristic intense aroma and flavor. Aromatic Allure: The Unique Essence of Back Cardamom: The captivating fragrance of back cardamom is attributed to a unique blend of volatile oils, primarily cineole and limonene. These compounds create a complex interplay of aromas, offering a refreshing citrusy undertone balanced by warm, almost smoky nuances. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering an initial burst of coolness followed by a surge of warmth and a lingering sweetness. This unique combination makes back cardamom an incredibly versatile spice, gracing both sweet and savory creations. World Wide Shipping Highest Quality Produce 24 FSSAI Certified 100% Chemical Fre
