So, what is laos?

Laos, also known as galangal, is a root spice that belongs to the ginger family. It has a warm and earthy flavor with hints of citrus and pine, making it a popular ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine. The rhizome is tougher than ginger but can be grated or sliced finely for use in soups, curries, stir-fries, and marinades. Laos also has medicinal properties, such as reducing inflammation and improving digestion. Its unique flavor profile and health benefits make it a versatile and valuable addition to any kitchen.
