Galangal, whole

$1.79

Primarily used in Southeast Asian cuisine, galangal is a root whose flavor is somewhat similar to ginger, but significantly stronger, with citrusy and earthy notes. It can be sliced for long-simmering dishes such as curries and soups and then removed prior to eating, or you can grate it for a subtler flavor. It pairs really well with coconut milk, lemongrass and curry powders. If you are a fan of Thai and Indian cuisine, galangal is a must-have. It also works well for pickling and broths.
