About Galangal
Galangal is a tropical root closely related to ginger, commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian dishes. Known for its citrusy, peppery flavor with hints of pine, it serves as a staple ingredient in soups, curries, and stir-fries. Nutritionally, galangal is rich in antioxidants, which can combat oxidative stress and support overall health. It contains compounds like galangin and quercetin, known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Galangal is also recognized for its potential to aid digestion and relieve nausea. Low in calories and fat, it offers essential nutrients such as iron, potassium, and fiber. However, consumption should be moderate, as excessive use might irritate sensitive stomachs for some individuals. With its vibrant taste and health benefits, galangal is both a flavorful and functional addition to your diet.
