Ever wanted to have a galangal plant in your own backyard, to harvest whenever you feel like cooking a rendang, teochew braised duck, assam babi, satay sauce or even to make your own red curry paste ? Fresh galangal adds flavor and depth to many dishes.
Well ......here's your chance. I have a few excess plants for sale to NZ readers.

The plant will be supplied as a cut back, bare root rhizome (underground stem) with at least one growing shoot or bud.

I'm just across the Tasman Sea!
ARRRRGHHH!
How torturous!
Blue ginger? What is it? How is it related to regular 'supermarket' ginger? What is the flavor like? I have so many questions, I would like to grow it though.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI note by your blog that you are located in US.
Unlike ginger, the Galangal root is pinkish in colour, completely white inside, and has a distinctive pungent flavour. Taste peppery. When cooked, it turns dark blue almost black.
It is also known as siamese ginger.
Have a look at this site here. It talks about galangal in greater details.
Hi Sinner, I am in Auckland, too and my lengkuas is growing rampant in my garden. I am still in search of turmeric. Any luck that you have some in your garden? I managed to source some from TradeMe once, but no longer...and my toddler then pretty much ravaged my delicate plant to smithereens!
ReplyDeleteHi Sakinah,
ReplyDeleteI don't have any turmeric plants but saw it once many years back at the Avondale Sunday market. Expensive though !
Hi there, I know it's been a while since you posted this, but do you have any galangal for sale still?
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn,

ReplyDeleteI note that it is 2 years since you last comment on this post, but in as much as I am a hopeful person and it is spring, I was wondering if you have any galangal for sale this year?
