What is galangal?
Galangal, Alpinia galanga, is a rhizome in the ginger family. It looks like ginger with paler, firmer skin and tastes sharper and more piney. It's a key flavor in Thai and Indonesian curries, soups and fragrant spice pastes like rendang.
Where it comes from
Galangal grows in hot, humid Southeast Asia.
The knobbly rhizome spreads just under the soil, beneath tall leafy stems.
