Torch Ginger Bud
Torch Ginger Bud is the fragrant, cone-shaped bud of the torch ginger plant used widely in Southeast Asian cuisines — especially Malaysian, Indonesian and Thai — where it adds floral, citrusy and slightly peppery notes to salads, soups and curries. It is very low in calories and provides a modest amount of fiber and micronutrients; notably it contains about 40mg of vitamin C per 100g, making it a useful flavouring that also contributes vitamin C. It also supplies some vitamin K and manganese and contains antioxidant polyphenols, which complements its culinary role as an aromatic herb and occasional vegetable garnish.
