Zingiber cassumunar aka. Zingiber montanum
An important medicinal plant known as “Plai” in Thailand, “Bangle” in Indonesia, and “Bulei” in China. Plai has been very productive, with high yielding, chunky rhizomes. The rhizomes are orange, lighter in color and a bit more juicy than turmeric. It smells like an essential oil, bright lemon, with juniper herbal undertones and some floral nectar notes. While we’re still working out the culinary side of plai, online reports show plenty of culinary applications and a history in massage oils. It has a numbing quality like Szechuan peppercorn that could be good in a curry or to soothe muscles as a rub. Let us know how you use it! NOTE: this is not a true turmeric.
Three to four rhizome seed pieces per six ounces.
