If you would like to be notified when this is back in stock please email Greg at Powdered galangal is also used in spice blends such as the Moroccan Ras el Hanout. Due to the moisture content, galangal may sometimes have lumps when ground to a powder form. Ground galangal should be stored in an airtight container to minimize lumps. Other names for galangal: Laos, Kaempferia, Siamese Ginger, Thai Ginger.
