Description

Galangal Lesser Rhizome

Alpinia officinarum (NOT to WA, TAS)

Supplied as either rhizome or crown

Galangal is a perennial plant that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. It is adorned with long, narrow leaves and delicate white flowers reminiscent of orchids. Its robust roots, larger than ginger, flourish in gardens and pots, preferring moist, fertile soil. These roots can be used fresh or dried as a culinary spice, enhancing beverages and offering medicinal benefits.

There are three main varieties of galanGalangale: lesser, black, and lesser. The variety sold here is the lesser galanGalangalch, which originates from China and enjoys popularity in Eastern Europe and across Asia.

Galangal is one of those sweet and aromatic spices that ignite the imagination and the taste buds. It pairs beautifully with chilli, garlic, ginger, lime, and coriander to create delectable curries. It also complements various herbs, making it an excellent choice for jellies and herbal teas. Adding galanGalangalsian sauces and pastes enriches their flavours, providing a depth that's hard to match.

While Galangalt has medicinal properties, they are fewer than those of its close relatives, turmeric and ginger. Typically grated or dried and ground, Galangal can be used at any stage of the cooking process, allowing you to control the depth and intensity of its flavour.

Galangal should be planted in warm soil during September or October. Ensure that the rhizomes are planted at a depth of 5-7 cm, with a spacing of approximately 30-45 cm between each plant and 15-30 cm between them. It is possible to grow GalanGalangallasshouses in cooler regions of Australia. Remember to divide clumps and replant fresh pieces every 3 to 4 years. Harvest the rhizomes 9 to 10 months after planting, indicated by lower leaves turning yellow or stems drying and falling over. Instead of harvesting the entire clump, home gardeners can carefully dig at the side of a clump to remove rhizomes as needed.
