Two main varieties of cardamom are grown in SRI LANKA. The
commercial variety that is cultivated is the one
botanically identified as E.
cardamomum. The other variety is wild
cardamom or Elleteria ensal. The latter
is now commercially distilled except for special
orders.
E. cardamomum – Fruits are specially selected
from prime stock for distillation. The
contamination free “splits” are ideal. The post
harvest preparation is carefully monitored as in
the selection of the raw material. Sri Lanka
cardomoms possess a distinctive organoleptic
appeal.
