About Gemalen galangawortel

Ground galangal is the dried, powdered rhizome of galangal, a pungent aromatic spice used in small amounts in cooking. It is distinct from fresh galangal: drying and grinding make it shelf-stable and easy to disperse, while removing the firm, fibrous slices associated with the fresh root.

The powder is usually fine and tan to light brown, with a warm, peppery, citrus-like aroma and a woody, sharp flavour. It is stirred into sauces, pastes, soups and marinades. Products can vary in grind and intensity, and the name alone does not specify the galangal species or whether anything has been added.
