Although at first glance, it might look similar to ginger, its taste and smell are vastly different. Galangal is an herb that comes from the ginger family, and it is widely used in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisines. There are four types of galangal: Chinese ginger, greater galangal, sand ginger, and lesser galangal. These differ in size, color, and taste. Our Greater Galangal, also known as the Thai Galangal, has a spicy, sweet flavor; reminiscent of pine and black pepper. The taste of the dried sliced galangal it's similar to the fresh one.
