Cardamom Wholesale: Premium Kerala Grades from Idukki
Cardamom Wholesale From Our Farm in Idukki
A lot of good cardamom leaves the hills properly sorted and then gets mixed with other lots on its way to city wholesalers. We're a farming family in Rajakumari, in the Idukki high ranges, with about 30 years of farming behind us. We grow cardamom, dry it in a cardamom dryer, and sort it by size ourselves. For larger orders we also buy from neighbouring farms we've known for years.
We don't print prices here because cardamom is auction-traded and the rate moves often. WhatsApp us for today's rate.

Size grades
We sort cardamom by pod size in millimetres. Depending on the harvest, grades range from bold pods of 8 mm and above down to smaller 6–7 mm pods suited to blending. Availability of each grade varies with the season, so tell us what you need and we'll confirm what we have.
- 8 mm and above (bold): retail packs, gifting, premium chai.
- 7–8 mm: everyday retail, hotels and restaurants.
- 6–7 mm: chai and masala blending.

Why Idukki cardamom
Idukki is Kerala's main cardamom district. Its shaded hill slopes, cool temperatures and heavy monsoon suit the plant well, and Idukki cardamom is known in the trade for its aroma and green colour. More on our origin →

FAQ
Is bigger cardamom always better?
Bigger pods look more impressive and are usually fuller, so they cost more. For blending, smaller fresh grades are often the smarter buy.
How long does cardamom stay fresh?
Whole cardamom keeps its aroma best for several months when stored sealed, cool and dry. Ground cardamom fades much faster.
Do you give volume discounts?
Not as a fixed table. Larger orders are quoted individually.
How do I check the grade?
Measure a handful of pods against the stated size, crack a few to check seed fill, and smell them.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer or UPI, paid upfront.
