Boesenbergia rotunda

$19.99

Sweet Thai Ginger

Most westerners are unfamiliar with this culinary spice, its bright refreshing flavor, and its crunchy texture. Sometimes called chinese keys, or finger root, the roots of the plant are usually used fresh, sliced thin, in salads or as a garnish. The flavor is similar to culinary ginger (Zingiber officinale), but sweeter, and much less pungent. The plant makes a wonderfull addition to a tropical plant collection, as its foliage and flowers are quite beautiful.
