Galangal, also known as Lengkuas, is a traditional spice widely used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Indonesia and Thailand. With its fresh aroma and distinctive spicy-aromatic flavor, galangal is an essential ingredient in dishes such as rendang, curries, soups, and stews.
Beyond its culinary uses, galangal is also valued for its health benefits. It is believed to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, and support skin health. This makes galangal popular not only in kitchens but also in traditional medicine practices.
With its unique taste, refreshing aroma, and versatile benefits, fresh and dried galangal has become a highly demanded spice in both local and international markets. It represents the richness of Indonesia’s tropical spice heritage and continues to be a valuable export commodity.
