It grows as tall, leafy stems reaching 2-4 meters high, producing clusters of fragrant pods near the base. The small, oval-shaped pods are light green to pale yellow and have a smooth outer surface containing numerous tiny seeds.

The pods are harvested at full maturity and dried with care to preserve their natural color, texture, and fragrance.

Following drying, the pods undergo cleaning and grading to remove any damaged material and ensure a uniform size and quality. This process yields whole, stable pods with consistent appearance and storage characteristics.

Whole green cardamom is used in a variety of dishes, including desserts, baked goods, beverages, rice dishes, and savory recipes. The whole pods are also used to add flavor and aroma to spice blends and can be added directly to recipes. They are suitable for both cooking and display due to their intact structure and vibrant color.
