Galangal description

Galangal is a rhizome similar in appearance to ginger, but with smoother, pinkish skin and a firmer, paler flesh. Its flavor is sharp, citrusy, and slightly piney, with a distinct medicinal aroma. It’s commonly used in Southeast Asian cooking, especially Thai and Indonesian cuisine, where it’s often simmered in soups or curry pastes.
