Product Description
Sand Ginger, also known as Sha Jiang, is a unique member of the ginger family and is one of four species of galangal. This dried, sliced version of Sand Ginger offers an intense peppery aroma with a hint of camphor.
The peppery bite of Sand Ginger pairs well with other Chinese spices like star anise, cassia, and smoked cao guo. Add it to your spice mix for braises, hot pot, or chili oil to create a distinctive layer of flavor.
For recipes that call for Sand Ginger powder, simply grind the slices in a spice grinder for a fresh and fragrant powder that surpasses pre-ground options.
Sand Ginger is valued for both its culinary and medicinal properties. Our Sand Ginger is directly sourced from the southern Guangdong city of Yangchun, a key production center of medical herbs for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
