Big Elaichi (Black Cardamom) Plant Sapling – A Highly Aromatic & Medicinal Spice Plant
The Big Elaichi (Black Cardamom, Amomum subulatum) is a premium spice plant known for its strong aroma, bold flavor, and medicinal properties. Grown primarily in the Himalayan region and tropical forests, this perennial herbaceous plant is prized for its large, dark brown seed pods, which are used in culinary and medicinal applications. Unlike green cardamom, black cardamom has a smoky, earthy flavor that enhances the taste of curries, stews, biryanis, and masala chai.

It produces long, green lance-shaped leaves and purple flowers, followed by seed pods that are harvested once mature. The plant is a slow-growing perennial but offers a high-value spice crop that is widely used in households and commercial spice production.
