FLAVOUR 

Galangal is closely related to ginger and turmeric, and all three roots are used fresh, fermented or dried to add flavour and nutrients with super health benefits.
Ginger offers a fresh, sweet-yet-spicy taste, while galangal's flavour is sharper, spicier, and slightly more peppery, I would describe the aroma like pine needles or citrus. Turmeric has the most pungent and bitter flavour of the three spices. They are a great base & the hero of this drink.  The pineapple kvass and lemon myrtle leaf add a lovely fresh note to this popular drink.

HEALTH BENEFITS

The fermentation of ginger, galangal & turmeric (GTG) together improves the extent to which the body is able to use phytochemicals contained in these medical spices.  In addition to making these spices more digestible, fermentation creates new healthful compounds and introduces beneficial probiotics to the digestive system.  These medicinal spices have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, ranging from migraine to chronic inflammation and fatigue.  Also used to relieve pain, decrease nausea, and enhance immune function to help protect against illness and infection.

Herbal synergy is an integral part of holistic medicine. The theory behind this idea is that by combining certain botanical compounds, we see a more powerful effect when compared to administering each individual compound on its own.  A compelling demonstration of herbal synergy can be found in bringing ginger, galangal & turmeric together. These medicinal spices target inflammation and free radicals, as well as their overlapping cellular signalling pathways.

GTG roots are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties that may reduce joint stiffness and pain.  This Fun Ginger drink contains probiotic bacteria including Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Micrococcus plus prebiotic fibre.

Ginger, Turmeric and Galangal (GTG) together all offer unique benefits for the body - from anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to helping improve digestion.  Supporting the immune system, nurturing healthy digestion, and reducing inflammation.

Galangal is particularly rich in a group of antioxidants called polyphenols.  Apart from anti- inflammatory properties it also contains antifungal properties.

A type of flavonoid found in galangal root, as well as other properties that present in the spice, has some promising anti-cancer effects on a number of different types of cancer, including melanoma, pancreatic cancer, hepatoma, colon cancer, and more.

You may be familiar with the term probiotic, which means “for life” (pro = for and biotic = relating to life). Alas, fermented foods are alive.
