Alpinia Alpinia officinarum, commonly known as lesser galangal, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to China and Southeast Asia. The applicable part of alpinia is the rhizome, which has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine since AD 500, valued for its aromatic properties and health benefits. Alpinia constituents include gingerols, diarylheptanoids, and the flavonoid galangin. Lesser galangal has traditionally been used as a stimulant, antipyretic, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory. The rhizomes have a spicy, pungent flavor with hints of citrus and pine, making them a popular ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai and Indonesian dishes.
