Alpinia officinalis is a plant from the ginger family originating from southeast Asia. It has a shape very similar to ginger, but differs in taste. Its more aromatic scent and sweetish-peppery note are perfect as an addition to fish and seafood dishes, spicy sauces, soups, stewed vegetables and curries. It goes perfectly with garlic, chili, lemon and dill. Galangal has been used traditionally for ages, across all civilizations.

Galangal has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. It was brought to England and northern Europe in the 13th century by the crusaders where it became a popular spice and medicine. St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179 C.E.), recommended the herb as the spice for life and used it in many of her formulas. The herb also has a long history in Arabic medicine for its healing properties.

How to prepare Galangal:

It can be made as herbal tea. Put 1-2 teaspoons of crushed or powdered root in a saucepan. Use a non-aluminium pan if possible. Pour in one cup of water. Cover the saucepan with a lid. Bring the water to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Strain and drink. Alpinia has other uses too. You can research the benefits of this herb or ask an herbalist how it can help you.
