Description

Alpinia galangal. 3.7L coir pot.

Delicious in Thai soups and curries, Galangal is a perennial herb offering rhizomes with a flavour between ginger and pepper.

The dried rhizomes have been used as a spice in Europe for over a thousand years.

In Russia, they are used to flavour liqueur and vinegar.

The leaves and young shoots are also edible.

The plant enjoys a warm, part shade to full shade position in free draining soil, and should grow about 2m high by 1m wide.

Rhizomes can be harvested for most of the year.
