My first attempt on lengkuas or Galangal. This root vegetable is commonly used in curries. They look similar to their cousin the ginger but but harder texture!
It has a lot of medical benefits too. It's believed to protect cancer cell growth, to treat rheumatic and many other medical treatment too. Besides medical, its used as one of the ingredient for cosmetic!
We usually use the lengkuas rhizome for cooking, so aromatic. We love it
