Review: The “secret” ingredient for Thai soup! - Ever since I had some of this, in my very first Thai soup experience, I have wondered what it was, and where to get it. 30 years later, I saw this on desertcart and I am thrilled with the flavor and quality of this product.
Review: Authentic Thai Soup - These galangal roots add authentic flavor to Tom Yum soup. Galangal root can help balance the tartness of some Tom Yum soups; the root will not sweeten or mask the tartness, just add some welcome complexity. I usually add three to four large pieces of root to a pot of soup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The “secret” ingredient for Thai soup!
*by A***R on February 21, 2023*

Ever since I had some of this, in my very first Thai soup experience, I have wondered what it was, and where to get it. 30 years later, I saw this on Amazon and I am thrilled with the flavor and quality of this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic Thai Soup

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic. Easier than tracking down fresh roots. Easily rehydrated.
*by A***. on September 10, 2018*

Myself and my family love Tom Yum soup (and other Thai dishes) but can't often find good quality herbs of those really required for any decent Tom Yum soup. So … I decided to try this, following good reviews from others, and indeed, this is fantastic. Don't be alarmed by the price--this is quite a lot of galangal, given that it is dried and so lots fit in a 3.5 oz package. You only need one or two pieces to hydrate and it will do the job. Don't forget to also get lemongrass and Kaffir Lime leaves--the same company carries them and I'd ordered all three. Delicious Tom Yum ensued! :)
