Free Galangal plants

Dean from Masterton District

Various galangal rhizomes are used in traditional Southeast Asian cuisine, such as Thai and Lao tom yum and tom kha gai soups, Vietnamese Huế cuisine (tré) and throughout Indonesian cuisine, as in soto. Polish Żołądkowa Gorzka vodka is flavoured with galangal. While all varieties of galangal are closely related to common ginger, and all exhibit some resemblance to the hot, spicy flavor of ginger, each is unique in its own right, and galangals are not typically regarded as synonymous with ginger or each other in traditional Asian dishes.

In ethnobotany, galangal has medicinal effects as it promotes digestion and alleviates respiratory diseases and stomach problems. Each galangal variety is attributed with specific medical virtues.

Virtually indestructible plants.

Will grow pretty much anywhere.

Garden, pots, etc.

I have far too much in various areas of the garden.

Something inside me simply does not want to throw them away.
