3.0 out of 5 stars Essential for thai and vietnamese foods, July 18, 2011

This review is from: Thai Fresh galangal - 14 oz (Misc.)
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.
