Cultivation and Processing

Cardamom also prefers temperatures between 18 °C and 30 °C for better Production. Cardamom plants will die if they're in direct sunlight, so choose a planting area that has partial shade. Cardamom fruits collected from plants, native to the moist forests of southern India, but most cardamom is cultivated in India, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala. The fruits are picked or clipped from the stems just before maturity, cleansed, and dried in a heated curing chamber. After curing and drying, the small stems of the capsules are removed by winnowing. Decorticated cardamom consists of husked dried seeds.
