Galangal (Alpinia officinarum) 50 grams
Galangal is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) and is commonly used in many cultures across Southeast Asia as an additive in foods and beverages, as well as traditional herbal preparations. Galangal is also closely related to turmeric, and boasts a very strong ginger-like flavour (much stronger than regular ginger).
Galangal (Alpinia officinarum): A Unique Ginger Variety Central to Southeast Asian Culture
Galangal is commonly used in the traditional cuisines of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. There are four different varieties of galangal (Alpinia galanga, Alpinia officinarum, Boesenbergia rotunda, and Kaempferia galanga), all with distinct aromas and flavours, which, in traditional Asian culture, are not considered interchangeable. Alpinia officinarum is arguably the most commonly used variety of galangal and the easiest to procure. Galangal can be used in similar ways as common ginger, either fresh or preserved in a variety of dishes, to make tea and other brews, as well as to create holistic preparations.
