Alpinia galanga or Spice Ginger appears similar to the Common Ginger that you may find in the supermarket. However, where Common Ginger is said to have a sweet natural flavor, Galangal (Spice Ginger) is known for its peppery taste. This herb is considered by many in its native region of Southeast Asia to be superior to Common Ginger.

In the 17th century spices ran the economy, much like the dollar does ours today. Galangal was a highly sought after spice that was supplied mostly by Southern China and Indonesia. While this herb is still widely used, there are currently no farms that produce it in mass quantities. Most Galangal that you will encounter has been grown in a small personal garden.

Alpinia galanga is easy to grow. For success with this herb, plant it once the risk or frost or freeze is gone and water it regularly to keep soil evenly moist, but not saturated. As an ornamental, this plant can grow up to seven feet tall and create beautiful white flowers.
