Amomum
Amomum longiligulare
Amomum (sa nhân) is a herb of the ginger family, two to three metres tall, like galangal but with no tuberous rhizome, its leaves glossy. Its white, purple-flecked flowers open on short shoots at ground level, so fruit forms almost in the leaf litter. It grows wild and is cultivated in the mountain provinces of northern and central Vietnam, and in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and India. The spiny, thumb-sized capsules are gathered in August and dried at once, in the sun by day and over a wood fire at night, for four or five days. The seeds are sour and sharply pungent, and have long been exported as a spice.
