somo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 In Thai it is called CAR or CAH something like that. The stems and roots are ingredients used mostly in Tom Yam soup. If anyone has experience of growing it commercially would appreciate any input and also like to find what it is called in english.Any help much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Galingal, not to be confused with the English Galingale, which are aromatic sedges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thai_ingredients Edited August 10, 2015 by cooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My Thai girlfriend tells me that in English it is called: Galangal And yes, in Thai it is Kaa. Never have heard of Galangal in my American life. I don't care for it. I would think it would have to be something you ate from birth, rather than an acquired taste. The aroma is too much for me.
