And one more… Happy Black History Month,

We’re continuing the Tropical Roots Series with… GALANGAL! The last sister we’re going to discuss in the ginger family - Zingiberaceae family. Galangal has lots of remedies for you, and many of them just come from having galangal as a regular part of the diet.

Put on some soft PJs, make a cup of chamomile tea, and let’s get into it! Enjoy bbs!
