Cardamom and Its Types

Cardamom, known as “hil” in Arabic and “cardamom” in English, is a spice derived from the seeds of the cardamom plant. It is used to add a distinctive aroma and flavor to foods and beverages. It carries a sharp, slightly bitter taste with a warm, pleasant scent, and is widely used in diverse culinary traditions, especially Indian and Arabic cuisine.

In the Iranian market, cardamom generally comes in two main varieties:

• Indian Cardamom: Grown in India, this variety is especially fragrant compared to others. Indian cardamom is usually sold in 1 kg packs, though 5 kg and 10 kg options are also available.
• American Cardamom: Grown in South America, primarily Guatemala, and commonly referred to as “American cardamom” in the market.

Note: Akbar Purple Cardamom has a strong presence in global markets and is successfully sold under the “Emperor Akbar” brand through major online retailers like Amazon.
