Galangal
Galangal is a rhizome of plants in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, with culinary and medicinal uses originating in Indonesia.. The rhizomes are used in various Asian cuisines. Though it is related to and resembles ginger, there is little similarity in taste. In its raw form, galangals have a stronger taste than common ginger. They are available as a whole rhizome, cut or powdered. The whole fresh rhizome is very hard, and slicing it requires a sharp knife. A mixture of galangal and lime juice is used as a tonic in parts of Southeast Asia. In the Indonesian language, the greater galangal and lesser galangal are both called lengkuas or laos, while Kaempferia galanga is known as kencur. It is also known as galanggal, and somewhat confusingly galingale, which is also the name for several plants of the unrelated Cyperus genus of sedges. In Thai language, greater galangal is called "ข่า" or "ข่าใหญ่", while lesser galangal is called "ข่าตาแดง". In Vietnamese, greater galangal is called riềng nếp and lesser galangal is called riềng thuốc.
Galangal
Galangal () is a common name for several tropical rhizomatous spices.
