Green Cardamom, known as Chhoti Elaichi in Hindi, is an aromatic spice celebrated for its sweet, floral notes and refreshing flavor. At Farm Ayurveda, we bring you handpicked, naturally grown Green Cardamom pods that retain their essential oils and therapeutic value. A staple in Indian kitchens, it adds a unique richness to sweets, teas, and savory dishes alike.
Apart from its culinary charm, Green Cardamom is a powerful Ayurvedic herb known to support digestion, freshen breath, and boost metabolism. It has detoxifying properties and is often used in herbal blends to balance Tridoshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Our premium quality ensures potency, flavor, and health benefits in every pod.
Green Cardamom has been used since ancient times in Indian, Greek, and Egyptian cultures. In Ayurveda, it is described as “Tridosha hara”, balancing all three doshas and improving digestion and mood. It was once traded as a luxury spice, often gifted to kings and royalty for its intense fragrance and medicinal value. Today, it remains a treasured ingredient in both traditional and modern healing systems.
