We were often asked what this herb is. It looks like ginger but its flavour is stronger and more astringent.
Galangal, called Kah (ข่า) in Thai and also known as Siamese ginger. We use it a lot in Thai cuisine specially with soups and curry.
Besides giving unique taste, Galangal also has several health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and may boost male fertility. It may even protect against infections and certain types of cancer.
