## Description

Emperor Akbar is an innovative brand. The first to introduce Aroma-Lock packaging, the brand has been the pioneer in the industry in terms of setting the grading standards, which has now become an industry standard. Cardamoms are graded based on their pod diameter (not the pod length as is often misunderstood) and their seed density. The fatter the pod, the more bang for your buck! Size wise, the pods are then sealed into colour-coded packaging for easy identification. 1) Purple Grade packs : 8mm & above pods 2) Pink Grade packs : 7.5mm & above pods 3) Green Grade packs : 7mm - 8mm pods 4) Orange Grade packs : 6.5mm - 7.5mm pods 5) Red Grade packs : 6mm - 7mm pods The quality remains world-class across all packs. When you buy Emperor Akbar Cardamom, you are buying the world’s best Alleppey Green Cardamom from the people who know cardamom best.
