Description

What is Galangal / Thai Ginger?

Galangal, often referred to as Thai ginger, is a rhizome closely related to ginger and turmeric. It is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially Thai dishes, known for its sharp, citrusy, and pine-like flavor. Unlike ginger, galangal is tougher and has a more peppery taste. It is used in soups, curries, and stir-fries, offering not only flavor but also medicinal benefits.
