Galangal Root - Cut & Sifted

Galangal root, also known as Little John, Chewing John, and Galingale, comes from the rhizome of a tropical plant native to Indonesia.

Galangal is a perennial plant in the ginger family that produces large leaves and showy red flowers. As a spice, galangal is popular in the traditional foods of Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, it is blended with other spices to season rendang, a spicy curry served in celebration of Hari Raya Puasa, which marks the end of Ramadan and a month of fasting.
