Galangal root
Galangal, a fragrant, peppery rhizome, cousin of ginger.
Galangal is a rhizome of the ginger family, with pale skin tinged with pink and dense flesh. Its lemony, peppery fragrance, with a resinous note, is livelier than that of ginger. It is essential to tom kha soup, curry pastes and many Thai broths.
