Galangal is an herb that comes from the ginger family, and it is widely used in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisines. There are four types of galangal: Chinese ginger, greater galangal, sand ginger, and lesser galangal. These differ in size, color, and taste.

Review: The “secret” ingredient for Thai soup! - Ever since I had some of this, in my very first Thai soup experience, I have wondered what it was, and where to get it. 30 years later, I saw this on desertcart and I am thrilled with the flavor and quality of this product. Review: Authentic Thai Soup - These galangal roots add authentic flavor to Tom Yum soup. Galangal root can help balance the tartness of some Tom Yum soups; the root will not sweeten or mask the tartness, just add some welcome complexity. I usually add three to four large pieces of root to a pot of soup. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TVAD8RM | | Brand | Burma Spice | | Brand Name | Burma Spice | | Coin Variety 1 | Cinnamon,Lemongrass,Ginger | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 816 Reviews | | Item Form | dry | | Item Package Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 3.5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Burma Spice | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Produce Sold As Format | Pre-packaged | | Size | 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian | | UPC | 859398005889 | | Unit Count | 3.5 Ounce | | Variety | Cinnamon,Lemongrass,Ginger | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Burma Spice - **Item Form:** dry - **Specialty:** Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian - **Unit Count:** 3.5 Ounce - **Variety:** Cinnamon,Lemongrass,Ginger ## Images ![Dried Galangal, Sliced | Greater Galangal - Alpinia Galanga | Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups 3.5 oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uwyMGeEyL.jpg) ![Dried Galangal, Sliced | Greater Galangal - Alpinia Galanga | Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups 3.5 oz. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-tzd8O1aL.jpg) ![Dried Galangal, Sliced | Greater Galangal - Alpinia Galanga | Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups 3.5 oz. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PyUBDxLOL.jpg) ![Dried Galangal, Sliced | Greater Galangal - Alpinia Galanga | Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups 3.5 oz. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SIUg-5-kL.jpg) ![Dried Galangal, Sliced | Greater Galangal - Alpinia Galanga | Perfect for Tom Yum and Tom Kha Soups 3.5 oz. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MqyR-35yL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which is better...dry or powder version?** A: Dry is better.

Galangal root can help balance the tartness of some Tom Yum soups; the root will not sweeten or mask the tartness, just add some welcome complexity. I usually add three to four large pieces of root to a pot of soup. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic. Easier than tracking down fresh roots. Easily rehydrated. *by A***. on September 10, 2018* Myself and my family love Tom Yum soup (and other Thai dishes) but can't often find good quality herbs of those really required for any decent Tom Yum soup. So … I decided to try this, following good reviews from others, and indeed, this is fantastic. Don't be alarmed by the price--this is quite a lot of galangal, given that it is dried and so lots fit in a 3.5 oz package. You only need one or two pieces to hydrate and it will do the job. Don't forget to also get lemongrass and Kaffir Lime leaves--the same company carries them and I'd ordered all three. Delicious Tom Yum ensued! :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/19783211-dried-galangal-sliced-greater-galangal-alpinia-galanga-perfect-for-tom](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/19783211-dried-galangal-sliced-greater-galangal-alpinia-galanga-perfect-for-tom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
