The Njallani variety is the jewel of Indian cardamom. Grown exclusively in the misty hills of Idukki district in Kerala, at altitudes above 1000 metres, these small pods concentrate exceptional aromatic intensity. Hand-picked and selected by certified organic producers, our Njallani cardamom is considered by connoisseurs to be the finest in the world.
Unlike common cardamom varieties, Njallani stands apart with its smaller pods but incomparable aromatic density. Its essential oil content is significantly higher, giving it a more powerful floral and minty fragrance that is released during cooking or when crushed. A small 20g pack will last you a long time, so remarkable is its concentration of flavour.
We source our spices exclusively from certified organic producers in India, guaranteeing a natural premium quality product, free from additives and preservatives.
To preserve all its aromas, store your cardamom pods in a dry place, away from light and humidity, in their airtight packaging. Whole pods retain their aromas far longer than ground cardamom.

Nos épices sont importées directement d'Inde et conditionnées à la demande pour garantir une fraîcheur optimale. Contrairement aux épices vendues en grande surface qui peuvent rester des mois sur les étagères, nous veillons à ce que chaque épice conserve toute sa saveur et son arôme.
Chaque épice provient de régions spécifiques en Inde réputées pour leur savoir-faire. Nous travaillons directement avec des producteurs locaux qui cultivent leurs épices de manière traditionnelle et biologique, sans pesticides ni produits chimiques.
Pour révéler tous les arômes, nous recommandons de faire légèrement griller les épices entières à sec dans une poêle avant de les moudre. Conservez-les dans un endroit sec et à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver leur fraîcheur le plus longtemps possible.
Les épices entières sont bien meilleures que les épices moulues
