## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you sell these in 1kg packagings ?**
A: Thank You for your interest in Emperor Akbar Green Cardamoms. 
We pack our cardamoms fresh in specially designed 'aroma-lock' packs of 5Kg, 1Kg, 500g, 250g, 100g.
We would also like you to know that we grade our cardamoms according to the seed density & pod diameter and pack them in different color pouches. Look for our Purple grade (pods of 8mm & above), Green grade (pods of 7mm-8mm) and Red grade (pods of 6mm-7mm). 
That is a Quality Assurance of the brand.

**Q: Hi, is this 7mm or 8 mm pods?**
A: Hello, Thank You for your interest in Emperor Akbar Cardamoms. We are the pioneers in the industry with regard to grading of green cardamoms. The cardamoms in this grade are 8mm (in diameter).
Let us know if you have any further queries.
We are on a mission of Enriching lives with Goodness!

**Q: Why the cardamom price in amazon is 5 to 8 times more than the market price?**
A: Thank You for your interest in Emperor Akbar Cardamom. 
To answer your question, we would like to communicate that green cardamoms are priced based on the diameter of the pod and the seed density. The larger the pod, the higher is the product price. 
To remove all ambiguity, we, at Emperor Akbar Cardamom, have standardized our offering and have color-coded our packs. The large size pods (of diameter 8mm) are packed in Purple Grade packs. The medium sized pods (of diameter 7mm-8mm) are packed in Green Grade packs. The small sized pods (of diameter 6mm-7mm) are packed in Red Grade packs. 
To add to the above, we want to share that our technologically-advanced ‘aroma-lock’ packs are designed to retain the aroma and flavor for long. Our packs with a shelf-life of 2 years.
By referring to the ‘market’, do you mean the commodity market which trades in cardamoms, without the promise of standardised grading? In that ‘market, the possibility of mixing the grades is high to fit into the acceptable price bracket.
As for Amazon prices being 5-8 times more, seems an exaggeration by any standard. 
We hope we have clarified the concerns.

**Q: Is your current offering, fresh this season crop? Is oil extracted as someone has reviewed? I want the 8+mm variety.**
A: Thank You for interest in Emperor Akbar Green Cardamoms.
To Answer your question :
1. Yes, our offering is fresh. It is from this season's crop.
2. No, oil has not been extracted. We are offering whole cardamom pods packed in our Aroma Lock packs. Some additional information : Oil can be extracted from the seeds only after removing the seeds from the pods, not from whole pods.
We would be glad to help clarify any more concerns.
