Black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) is a bold, smoky spice used in cooking, beverages, nutraceutical blends, and essential oil extraction. Compared to green cardamom, black cardamom pods are larger, tougher, and often require crushing or grinding before further processing. In bulk supply chains, these pods often contain husks, stems, and fibrous debris that must be removed before refining or packaging.
Industrial users who process black cardamom into coarse or fine powder for chai blends, ayurvedic formulas, or food service applications often need a precise particle size range. The challenge is separating usable seed material from the woody shell fragments without creating excess fines or screen mesh clogging the screen mesh.
