Soeos Galangal Slices 6 Ounces, Non-GMO Verified, Kosher, Great Galangal - Alpinia Galanga, Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups, Authentic Product of Vietnam, Sliced Dried Galangal Root, 6oz.

The taste is very unique

Tastes great. Smells great. Really boosts a soup or two.Don't use too much. Spices can cause GI issues based on what you are using, sometimes you should research these things before accidentally dumping too much into your soup and causing minor stomach pains for everyone. Yeah it tastes great, and we ate more of it, just be careful when measuring and not looking.

Using for some thai recipes that ask for it. It's a fairly large bottle and will last some time.

It's a very fine powder and it's very easy to mix into water or whatever you're cooking. I made some tea and stirred some in. I used to live in Thailand and had fresh galangal. We would cut a piece and pound it in a mortar. The strength is a big difference. For the price and labor savings this is fine. I still want fresh but it's hard to find and I guess I will have to start growing my own.

Made the best Tom Kha we’ve ever had. Wife said it was awesome so that’s the bar. 😂. Go make yourself some great soup.

I use these all the time to season Thai dishes, which we love.

I wanted to make authentic tasting Thai soup, so ordered this root. And I did make a pot, and it was delicious! It’s nice to go ave more on hand for subsequent whims.

Having used high quality galangal from a NYC seller, admittedly higher cost but dark in color and very flavorful, this was a disappointment. Very light in color and initial impression was it's as flavorless as sawdust. Eventually the flavor comes through. Since Saigon Cinnamon is so much better than "regular," I had high hopes for this. Will not order again.
