Contact SupplierWhite Cardamom is an aromatic fruit that is used as a spice and also mixed as herb. This is also used for medicinal purpose in Asian countries. There are 2 kinds of cardamom widely found in South Asia - namely sabrang cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum L) and local cardamom (Amomum cardamomum L.). Sabrang cardamom is cultivated mostly in Malabar and Mysore region. However, most of the farmers cultivate local cardamom in Indonesia that is yellow-whitish in color and round in shape. The pod contains several brown seeds. Sabrang cardamom cardamom is known as the original (True Cardamom) because of its high volatile oil content (5-8%) and it smells very aromatic, while the local white cardamom is known as false (false cardamom), which has less volatile content of about 2 to 3.5% and is less aromatic. It is known as 'Kapulaga' in Indonesia. |
