Galangal (Alpinia galanga) is a member of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, and is native to Southeast Asia. It’s a perennial herb with thick rhizomes that are similar in appearance to ginger root. There are two main types of galangal: Greater galangal (Alpinia galanga) and Lesser galangal (Alpinia officinarum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater galangal is also known as Thai or Siamese ginger, while lesser galangal is called Chinese ginger. Greater galangal has larger rhizomes and a milder flavor than lesser galangal, which has smaller rhizomes and a stronger taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
