Badi Elaichi (Black Cardamom) – Bold & Smoky Whole Spice

Product Description

Badi Elaichi, also known as black cardamom, is a powerful aromatic spice that brings depth, warmth, and a distinctive smoky character to food. Larger than green cardamom, its dark pods contain intensely flavored seeds that slowly release aroma when cooked, making it a key ingredient in slow-cooked and robust dishes.

Widely used in North Indian, Kashmiri, and Mughlai cuisine, badi elaichi is especially valued in biryanis, pulao, curries, lentils, and meat preparations. Its earthy, slightly camphor-like taste adds complexity and richness that cannot be replaced by any other spice.

Beyond flavor, badi elaichi is traditionally known for its digestive and detoxifying properties. It helps improve digestion, reduce acidity, and supports respiratory health, especially when used in warm foods and decoctions.

Carefully sourced and naturally dried, our badi elaichi pods are selected for strong aroma, high oil content, and consistent quality. Free from artificial colors, preservatives, and polishing, the spice retains its natural potency and authenticity.

Hygienically packed to lock in freshness and aroma, this badi elaichi is ideal for daily cooking as well as festive and special recipes that demand bold flavor.
