This information about ethnic use of Galangal as personal information from Bilamda

hence forwarding it

Thank you Usha di.

This plant is locally known as PUNDI. There is a place very near to Cooch Behar named PUNDI-BARI. I heard from friends that they used to eat tender shoots of the plant in child hood. It is favorite fodder for elephants.

With regards,

Bimal

This is more closer to Alpinia nigra rather than those at Alpinia galangal
