and Thai cuisine. It is one of four plants

Thai galangal). The galangals are also called blue ginger
or Thai ginger.
The plant grows from
rhizomes in clumps of stiff
stalks up to two meters in height with abundant long
leaves which bears red fruit. It is native to

rhizome has a sharp, sweet taste and smells like a blend
of black pepper and
pine needles. The red fruit
is used in traditional Chinese medicine and has a flavor

Known as Chittarattai in
Tamil, this form of ginger is used with another root
called Athi-Mathuram (Glycyrrhizoc Glabra) as folk cure
to cold and sore throat.
