What grade is this cardamom?

Pureleven cardamom is export-quality grade, grown in the high-altitude Idukki region of Kerala — one of the most prized cardamom-growing areas in the world. The pods are bold, aromatic, and free from artificial bleaching.

How do I use green cardamom?

Crush the pod lightly to release aroma before adding to tea, coffee, biryani, curries, or desserts. Use whole pods in slow-cooked dishes and remove before serving, or grind seeds for baking and spice blends.

Where do these spices come from?

All Pureleven spices are sourced directly from small family farms in Idukki and the hill regions of Kerala. High-altitude cultivation and slower growing cycles concentrate aroma and natural oils — giving each spice noticeably stronger flavour than mass-retail alternatives.

Are these spices natural and free from additives?

Yes. Every Pureleven product is 100% natural with no artificial colour, preservatives, or additives. The company is FSSAI Licensed and sources from farms that use no chemical treatments.

How should I store these spices?

Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A cool, dry pantry shelf or cupboard is ideal. Whole spices retain aroma significantly longer than pre-ground — grind only what you need each time.

How long is the shelf life?

Whole spices retain peak aroma for 18–24 months when stored in airtight conditions. Once ground, use within 3–6 months for best flavour. Pureleven products are small-batch packed and shipped fresh, so they arrive at maximum freshness.

Is free shipping available?

Yes. Free shipping is available across India on orders above ₹649. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours of placement.

Why This Grade Exists

Pods on a cardamom plant don't ripen together — pickers return to the same plant for months. The biggest, fullest pods come from the peak of that cycle, and isolating them is pure hand labour. That's the premium: you're paying for the 85% we set aside, not a fancier label.

Who Buys It

Premium chai and tea brands where the pod is visible in the blend
Gift and festive pack brands
Ayurvedic and wellness formulators
Masala houses with a flagship product
Exporters serving Gulf and premium retail markets
