Description Fine Print
 
Alpinia galanga, commonly known as galangal, is a tropical ginger cultivated for its pungent rhizome that smells of citrus, black pepper, and pine needles. It is used as culinary herb to impart and enhance the rich aromas of Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. It grows much like a Hedychium with a strong rhizomatous root structure and upright stems with long, elliptic leaves to 6 feet tall. Large, tropical-looking inflorescences of creamy white and pink flowers occur at the top of the stems. The rhizomes can be dug up and used fresh or dried. Adds tropical drama to the garden or patio and delicious flavours to the kitchen. Protect from winter cold in a frost-free area or use as a potted houseplant. Photo: Wikipedia.
