Galangal
Galangal is a pungent rhizome widely used in Southeast Asian cuisines (Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian) for its sharp, citrusy and slightly pine-like flavor; it’s commonly added to soups, curries and spice pastes. In terms of nutrition, Galangal is low in calories and provides modest amounts of fiber (2g per 100g), along with trace minerals such as magnesium and copper. It’s used more as an aromatic seasoning than a calorie source. Traditionally valued for digestive and anti-inflammatory effects, galangal also contains some antioxidant compounds (polyphenols) that may contribute to those benefits and its characteristic aroma.
