Organic Galangal has a Unique and Exotic Flavor
Galangal is known by many names, including galanga, kha, Thai ginger, and laos. It is a rhizome plant and goes by the scientific name Alpinia Galanga. It is also within the ginger family Zingiberaceae, and although it resembles ginger physically, it has a distinctly different taste.
Galangal has been cultivated since 600 AD and originates from Indonesia. It continues to be used for culinary and medicinal purposes since the ancient days. It can be used in the raw form, however it is quite hard and requires a very sharp knife to cut it. It is often ground into a powder, which makes it easier to work with, and is more commonly called for in recipes. It is often found in Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian cuisine.
Galangal is slightly larger and much harder than ginger, and often has a shinier and whiter skin. It has a strong flavor, more flowery, piney, and sharp than ginger, and it also boasts a strong citrus scent. It is often sliced very thinly and compliments many Asian flavors and dishes. Galangal can be used fresh or frozen to preserve it longer.
