With the increasing consumer preference for natural health solutions, green cardamom is being incorporated into detox drinks, immunity-boosting formulations, and therapeutic blends. The expansion of the spice industry into specialty and gourmet products has also driven the demand for high-grade, hand-picked cardamom varieties that offer superior quality and aromatic intensity.
