Greater galangal grows to a
height of 1.8 m and has long, elegant, blade-like leaves. The flowers are green
and white with red tips. Rhizome is built up from cylindrical subunits (circular
cross-section), whose pale-reddish surface is characteristically cross-striped
by reddish-brown, small rings. The interior has about the same color as the
skin and is hard and woody in texture.
The plant grows from rhizomes in
clumps of stiff stalks up to 2 m in height with abundant long leaves that bear
red fruit. It is native to South Asia and Indonesia and cultivated in Malaysia,
Laos and Thailand. A. galanga is the galangal used most often in
cookery. The robust rhizome has a sharp, sweet taste and smells like a blend of
Black pepper and pine needles. The red fruit is used in traditional Chinese
medicine and has a flavor similar to cardamom.
Kulanjan Oil comes from an erect robust perennial herb. The oil is extracted through steam distillation process from the dried part of roots.
