Galangal

Distinct from its ginger cousins, galangal (lengkuas) is bold, peppery, and fragrant, lending its unmistakable aroma to our most treasured dishes. Essential in rempahs (spice pastes) and slow-cooked stews, it carries the depth of Peranakan heritage—warming, healing, and flavourful all at once. Traditionally used for its medicinal benefits, galangal is believed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation, making it as nourishing as it is delicious. Lengkuas is also called blue ginger.
