Galangal

Nestled in the rich soil of our organic garden, you'll find a root that is a true cornerstone of Balinese culinary: galangal. Known scientifically as Alpinia galanga, this aromatic root, which looks similar to ginger, has a more distinct, piney-citrus flavor that brings an authentic warmth to many local dishes. It's a wonderful way for families to engage their senses and learn about the herbs and spices that make Indonesian food so unique.

Galangal is not just for flavor; it's also traditionally used for its impressive health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to aid digestion. It's a natural and wholesome way to enhance your family’s well-being. At our resort, we believe in a true farm-to-table philosophy, and our chefs use fresh galangal to add a zesty depth to our meals, from soups to stir-fries. Exploring the spice garden and learning about galangal is an enriching and delicious activity that adds a unique layer to your Ubud family vacation.
