Black cardamom (Amomum subulatum), also known as Nepalese or large cardamom, belongs to the Zingib-eraceae family and is native to Nepal’s mountainous regions. We source it primarily from the eastern lowland foothills and the temperate zones, where it thrives at altitudes between 600 and 1,800 meters. This perennial plant grows to a height of 2–3 meters and produces large, aromatic seed pods containing dark brown or black seeds. The distinct smoky, earthy flavor of black cardamom is a result of the traditional drying process over an open fire. Highly valued in culinary traditions, it is a key ingredient in curries, stews, and spice blends. Beyond its culinary uses, black cardamom is prized in traditional medicine for its digestive and respiratory benefits. The harvesting season typically spans from September to November, marking the peak period for its aromatic seed pods.
