Why Panasva
Under forest shade in the Kerala hills — traceable to the slope it came from.
Handpicked when the oils are highest, which is where the colour and the aroma come from.
Cleaned, size-graded and colour-sorted at 6, 7 and 8 mm+ — never a market lot.
No colour, no polish, no preservative — sealed so the aroma reaches your kitchen.
Benefits of green cardamom
Green cardamom, often called true cardamom, is prized not only for its sweet, vibrant flavour but for a wide range of potential health benefits. Rich in phytonutrients, essential oils and antioxidants, it has been a staple of traditional medicine for centuries.

The aroma
Crush one pod into the morning chai and the whole house knows before the cup is poured. That lift is the volatile oil — and it is the first thing to go quiet in cardamom that has been sitting in a warehouse.
Care in every step
The lush hills of the Western Ghats.
Selected stock, set beneath forest shade.
Sustainable growing that lets each pod mature.
Watched on the panicle through the long season.
Handpicked, gently cured, meticulously graded.
What our customers say
Chai every morning, biryani on Sunday, kheer at Diwali — and the restaurant kitchens that order it by the kilo.
The aroma hit me the moment I opened the tin. I have been buying cardamom from the local shop for years and there is no comparison — these pods are twice the size.
I use it for chai every morning and for biryani on Sundays. One tin lasts my family about two months. Packing was sealed properly, nothing spilled.
Ordered the 250 g pouch before Diwali for kheer and for gifting. Both my sisters have asked me where I got it from.
We go through about four kilos a month across two outlets. The grading is consistent between lots, which is what matters to us — the biryani masala tastes the same in January and in June.
Bought the 1 kg for a wedding order. Delivery took a day longer than I expected, but the pods were fresh and green and the whole box smelled of it. I have reordered twice since.
