About Us

The Lush Cradle of Our Spices:

The Western Ghats of Idukki

The Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the most biologically rich and ecologically significant landscapes in the world. Stretching along the western edge of India, this mountain range is known not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for its fertile soil, pure air, and consistent rainfall—all of which make it the perfect cradle for cultivating high-quality spices. For generations, farmers here have lived in harmony with nature, using traditional methods that preserve the land's richness.

Nestled in this green paradise is Chellarcovil, a serene village in Idukki, Kerala, where Kakkadans Food & Spices takes root. The spices grown here—cardamom, pepper, turmeric, and more—carry the unmistakable essence of the Western Ghats. Every seed, every leaf, every pod is nurtured by clean mountain air and mineral-rich soil, resulting in flavors that are bold, earthy, and full of life.

When you choose Kakkadans, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a way of life that respects tradition, nature, and authenticity. We invite you to experience the purity of the Western Ghats in every spice we offer.
