Product Description
Fresh galangal (kha) This root has a shiny, thin skin and is a relative of ginger but with a much more pungent and fiery flavor. Galanga is native to the cuisines of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It is an important ingredient with lemon grass, chile peppers, shallots, and garlic for Thai curry pastes and soups. Use it sliced and minced to add flavor to stir-frys. Prepare first by scraping off any large protrusions or uneven pieces. Be careful not to use too much galangal, as it can overpower the taste of a dish. Fresh galangal freezes well in a ziplock, cut into smaller chunks first.. We also offer dried galangal. Nice light color and soft tips. Fresh and fragrant. Unlike the dark brown, dried up galangal you might be lucky to find in a market. You get 2 lbs.

What This Is: Galanga, or galangal, is a root "spice" similar to ginger in flavor and appearance. The flavor is different in its complexity and intensity than ginger, and the root is much more robust and woody than ginger. Whereas it is easy to slice ginger and eat it, this root is not something you would eat outright.
Recommendation: do not order this during the warm/hot season without expedited (overnight) shipping.
Why 3 stars: The product arrived with a small amount of decay/mold on the root. There were two large rootstocks in the package in a sealed plastic bag; it would have benefited from ventilation. Being sealed in, condensation formed, the wetness in constant contact with the root combined with the warmth of spring caused a small amount of decay/mold to occur. It was a very small amount, removed without too much difficulty. One root was cooked, the other is growing in the garden.
I recommend using something akin to a bone saw to cut the rootstock. It is quite woody.
