The Elaichi Plant, also known as Cardamom or Velchi, is a tropical, perennial, herbaceous plant native to the rainforests of Southern India. It is highly prized as the “Queen of Spices” due to its rich aroma and flavor.
This plant has lush green foliage, long leafy shoots, and produces small white flowers with purple veins, which later form aromatic green pods — the source of the world-famous cardamom spice.
Cardamom is cultivated mainly for its seed pods, which contain small black seeds with an intense sweet-spicy fragrance. Both pods and seeds are used for culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic applications.
