USES
Galangal, botanically classified as Alpinia officinarum, is the underground rhizome of a tropical shrub that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. Also known as Siamese ginger and Thai ginger, there are two main species of Galangal known as Greater Galangal and Lesser Galangal, varying in size, shape, and taste, but both species are used to flavor culinary dishes. Galangal has been utilized for its medicinal properties in Asia for thousands of years and is predominately used today to flavor Southeast Asian cuisine. Galangal adds a warm, sweet, and pungent flavor to dishes, similar to ginger but stronger in flavor, and can be found in fresh, dried, and powdered form.
Sourced from Indonesia\'s fertile lands, our galangal adds a bold, peppery flavor with a hint of citrus. A key ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine, it enhances soups, curries, and sauces with its unique, aromatic taste.
Kaempferia galangal L. (Zingiberaceae), also known as aromatic ginger, is used in food and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and maquillage materials, as well as in traditional Asian medicine. Our aromatic ginger is carefully selected, cleaned, and dried to preserve its unique flavor and aroma. It is an excellent spice that adds a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor to any dish.
