Elegant, Earthy & Enigmatic – A Spice of Quiet Power
Introducing Indonesian White Cardamom (Amomum compactum)—a rare and refined spice that whispers elegance rather than shouting it. Locally known as Kapulaga, is a prized spice that has been an integral part of Indonesia’s culinary and cultural heritage for centuries. Indigenous to the lush, tropical regions of Southeast Asia, this aromatic spice is derived from the seeds of the plant species Amomum compactum, which thrives in Indonesia's fertile soils and humid climate. Grown in the fertile volcanic soils of Java and Sumatra, this variety of cardamom is milder, smoother, and uniquely aromatic, making it a prized ingredient in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Ayurvedic traditions.
While its green cousin may steal the spotlight, Indonesian White Cardamom is the secret behind the scenes—adding a soft burst of warmth, a touch of camphor, and a hint of sweetness to dishes, drinks, and traditional medicine. At PT. Asian Agro Commodities, we bring you this rare gem in its purest, sun-dried, and hand-sorted form—ready to elevate your recipes and wellness blends.

Grown in the highland forests of Indonesia, especially in West Java, Sumatra, and Aceh, white cardamom thrives in tropical microclimates, nurtured by fertile volcanic soil and generous rainfall.
