Description: You’re familiar with tasty turmeric and you know ginger inside out but what about their close relative, Galangal?! Its flavour is sharper, spicier, and slightly more peppery than ginger and is often used in Indonesian and Thai cuisine. Galangal’s fragrant scent is a mixture of pine and ginger that makes a beautiful addition to incense and potpourri!
