Galangal is a valuable spice plant, which was especially recommended by St. Hildegard von Bingen.
Galangal is a rhizome with culinary uses, best known in the west today for its appearance in Southeast Asia cuisine but also common in recipes from medieval Europe. Though it resembles ginger in appearance, it tastes little like ginger. In its raw form, galangal has a soapy, earthy aroma and a pine-like flavor with a faint hint of citrus. It is available as a powder from vendors of Oriental spices and is also available whole, cut or powdered from vendors of herbs. Galangal is also known as Chewing John, Little John Chew and galanga root.
Galangal contains bitter substances and stimulate the digestion in a natural way.
Each Tablet contains 75 mg of Galangal Root powder.
