For cardamom, tropical, hot and humid climates are suitable. The ideal humidity level is 75%. Cardamom (also known as Elachi) is a perennial and herbaceous plant and is known as the queen of spices. As cardamom wholesalers In Idukki, we bring holistic practices and deep knowhow.

The dried mature fruit of cardamom is called a pod. Cardamom and its powder form are flavouring agents for many food products. It is also used in other items like baked foods and confectionaries. The oil from cardamom is also used to add flavour to processed food and also for Ayurvedic treatments.

The main fields are prepared by clearing the undergrowth and supplementing with organic manure. Planting happens with adequate spacing between the plants and in conditions of light drizzle or rain. Both vegetative and seed-based propagation can be undertaken. Weed control is undertaken as appropriate, and tree shade is required for growth. From the second or third year, they start bearing fruit. Patience and attention to quality makes Mahalakshmi Spices the best cardamom exporters In Kerala.

• A revolutionary impact came up when the Njallanil variety of cardamom was introduced.
• It was developed by a cardamom planter named RejiNjallanil. Today ninety percent of the cardamom plantations are of the Njallanil variety.
• The Njallanil variety is the highest yielding variety which can be harvested round the year, apart from other varieties Njallanil requires forty percent less shade which gives an advantage to cultivate anywhere where there is soil.
