Processing and Grading

At Matras Exporters, Cardamom procured from the farmers are carefully segregated and graded The crop should be cleaned before processing The first stage is to remove dust and dirt using a winnowing basket. After winnowing the capsules are washed in clean water. The stalks are removed from the cardamom capsules by hand.

The most important part of the process is drying as it affects the quality of the final product. It is important to dry the cardamom capsules as soon after harvest as possible to prevent the loss of flavor Green Cardamom is also important that the drying process is as short as possible so that mold does not grow on the capsules and the bright green color is retained. The moisture content of a fresh  Green Cardamom  capsule is about *5%. This needs to be reduced to *0% in the dried product so the  Green Cardamom capsules can be stored.

 Green Cardamom  is graded by color and size. The deeper the green color and the larger the capsule size, the higher the grade. The higher grade spice that measures above 8MM with bright green color is used by us for the export.
