## Description

***NOTE: No shipping to state of Louisiana due to the state agricultural restriction. *** If you love Asian food, Thai food, Galangal (kha) plant is a must to have. It is best for Tom Kha, Tom Yum,lab and Chicken Satay marinating. You can slice the rhizome and freeze them to use all year round. The rhizome is larger and softer than lesser galangal. You will have larger quantity of rhizome from Alpinai Galanga for cooking. Main species of Alpinia Galanga used as a cooking spice, mainly for curries and soups. It is famous and well-known for Thai cooking use. It has a ginger-like hotness but a sweetly aromatic flavor that is, actually, the predominant flavor in good "Tom-kha" soup. The root (rhizome, actually) also is the source of an essential oil used in flavoring medicinal bitters and liquors. The young shoots are edible and delicious. The older root is harder and the aroma is stronger. Plants prefer warmth, fast-draining soil, part shade, and protection from frost. They can be grown indoors in the temperate north, and are a great outdoor plant for the warm weather area. These plants are really looking good, with substantial root systems and excellent aerial parts. From Wikipedia: Galangal (also known as galingale, galanga, blue ginger, and laos) 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 (for example in Thai and Lao tom yum and tom kha gai soups, Vietnamese Hu? cuisine (tre) and throughout Indonesian cuisine). Though it is related to and resembles ginger, there is little similarity in taste. 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 (also with aromatic rhizomes). In Thai, greater galangal is called (kha) or (kha yai). In Vietnamese, greater galangal is called rieng

*by L***J on August 10, 2017*

Took too long to get to me and by the time I received the roots, they were moldy. No planting instructions whatsoever. Planted them based on instructions I found on the Internet and only have one shoot growing.
