About Ceylon Cardamom
Ceylon Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is one of the world's most prized and expensive spices, often referred to as the 'Queen of Spices.' Sri Lankan cardamom is celebrated for its intense, sweet-spicy aroma and complex flavor profile that combines citrusy, minty, and warm notes. Grown in the misty highlands of Sri Lanka, our cardamom pods are harvested just before full maturity to capture peak essential oil content. Whether used in traditional chai, biryanis, desserts, or Scandinavian baking, Ceylon Cardamom brings an unmistakable elegance to any dish. It is also widely valued in Ayurvedic medicine for its digestive and respiratory benefits.
Our Commitment to Excellence
FEORCEYLON Values
Hand-harvested at optimal maturity to ensure maximum essential oil content. Each batch is carefully dried using controlled low-temperature methods to preserve the vibrant green color and volatile aromatic compounds. All lots undergo rigorous testing for moisture, oil content, and microbial safety.
Making Method
Cardamom capsules are carefully hand-picked from the plant when they are three-quarters ripe. The pods are then washed and dried in specialized drying chambers at low temperatures (45-50°C) for 10-15 hours, preserving the green color and aromatic oils. Whole pods are sorted by size and color grade. For ground cardamom, seeds are extracted from pods and freshly milled to preserve the volatile essential oils that give cardamom its distinctive flavor.
Origin & Sourcing
Cultivated in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, primarily in the Kandy, Matale, and Nuwara Eliya districts. The altitude (600-1500m), cool misty climate, and rich volcanic soils of these regions create ideal conditions for producing intensely aromatic cardamom with high essential oil content.
