The scientific name of the galangal is alpinia officinarum, the scientific name is based on the Arabic Khoulandjan which would come from the Chinese liang-kiang.
Galangal spice has been found since antiquity in China. But it was in the 10th century, Avicenna Ibn Sina, the Iranian philosopher and doctor, mentions the name of this spice in his pharmacopoeia, specifying that it comes directly from China. In Europe it is in the monastery of Corbie in the North of France that we find the first written trace in Europe of the galangal following the purchase of this spice.
