The Fragrant Queen of Spices

Known as the "Queen of Spices," Green Cardamom has charmed civilizations for centuries with its intoxicating aroma and exquisite flavor. Originating from the Western Ghats of Southern India, our cardamom is sourced from the finest high-altitude regions of Kerala and the cloud-covered forests of Guatemala, ensuring a truly premium quality.

We select superior grades like 'Alleppey Green Extra Bold' (AGEB), which are prized for their vibrant green color, larger pod size, and intense aroma. Zaycca brings you this versatile and elegant spice, perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your culinary creations.
