Zedoary:- Zedoary, also known as white turmeric, is a rhizome with a thin brown skin and a bright orange, hard interior. Its smell is similar to that of turmeric and mango. It is widely used as a spice in the West today. It is also found in sub-tropical regions of eastern Nepal. Because of its mango-like fragrance, zedoary is called amb halad in many Indian languages (amb means mango). Some other common names are kachur in Hindi, karchur in Sanskri. Though zedoary is cultivated throughout India, it is mainly found in eastern Himalayan region and Karnataka. Botanical Name (S): Curcuma Zedoaria
