55g Organic Thai Ginger (Cinco Ramas)

A larger relative of both turmeric and ginger, Thai ginger – also known as galangal – has a flavor profile all its own. And not to be outdone by its two, more famous cousins, this ingredient also brings an interesting history and a long list of health benefits to the table.

There is a growing body of evidence touting this spice as a potential antagonist to a wide array of cancers. There is also a long history of its use in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties, as well as its beneficial effects on digestion. It may also aid in decreasing some forms of age-related cognitive degeneration due to a compound found in the rhizome called 1-acetoxy chavicol acetate (ACA).
