Fresh Galangal 8 oz.

Great quality, as advertised, great addition to kitchen staples. Makes for great Tom Kha soup

We never had galanda before. Saw on a cooking show. It supposed to be really good for you helps with inflammation and some use it for cold symptoms. That’s why I ordered it. Tastes similar to ginger. It was a very large piece and fresh. We are enjoying it many different ways mainly sliced or grated onto sandwiches and salads. Also soup. Oh and the shipping was fast.Thank you for making our 1st purchase of Galanda a good one.

I'm so happy to receive 2 large pieces of fresh Galangal. It smells wonderful and fragrant and arrived safely. Thank you for making this available.

I live in Delaware (USA), and it is impossible for me to find fresh (or dried) galangal. I bought two "varieties" from this seller. For some reason I thought they would be two different (perhaps greater and lesser galangal) because the pictures were different but they were both the same. I recommend buying this one over the 150 gram one as you get more bang for your buck. There was minimal mold that I had to cut off (to be expected as it is shipped like across the world/continent and shipped in a plastic bag). I wish they would ship it something besides plastic maybe muslin, cheese cloth, paper bag or even include some paper towel in the plastic bag to help prevent condensation, mold and any decay that may occur with fresh produce stored in a plastic bag for several days. The shipping was longer than preferred for fresh produce, though expected and it arrived before the expected delivery date. I used some immediately and froze the rest. Since it is from the same plant family as ginger it will do well in the freezer. I am ecstatic that I could order this online and they even sent a bit more than the advertised 8 ounces! Will definitely be buying again. I'm an avid lover and cooker of thai food and I love unique herbs/spices/vegetables. And this is a lovely spicy, pungent sort of ginger. I so wish I could find it nearby so I could use it in everything!

This is not available in the local grocery store, so I'd buy extra and freeze it for making Tom Ka Gai

I'm very happy with the freshness and size of the product. It is fragrant as soon as the package is opened.It's about the size of my hand, there are a few spots on the ends that have started to dry where there are negligible signs of mold that can be easily removed.The rhizome has live roots and a stem that was cut before packaging. I broke off roughly 1/3 of the rhizome and planted it. I put the rest in my refrigerator for future recipes (mainly Tom Kha Gai)

I just received it so I haven't tried it yet, but it looks and smells very fresh and it's a huge piece and bigger than my hand! I've never cooked with it before and I can't wait to start some Tom Yum soup! I got my kaffir lime leaves today too. I'm a happy girl!

I ordered two root products, this one and a horse radish root. This one, the galangal root, failed to sprout. The other sprouted and looks quite acceptable.This one, the galangal, appeared quite dry and old. There were nodes, but they never sprouted. I have no choice but to down rate this product. I tried contacting the seller: after all, waiting for the root to sprout takes a while, but I received no response.If you purchase from this seller use caution.
