Aromatic and Medicinal Rhizome

Common Names: Finger Root, Chinese Ginger, Lesser Galangal, Krachai, Temu Kunci
Family: Zingiberaceae
Origin: Southeast Asia

Finger Root (Boesenbergia rotunda), also known as Chinese Ginger or Krachai, is an aromatic rhizome widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine and traditional medicine. The plant is named for its long, finger-like roots, which are highly valued for their distinctive flavor, similar to ginger but milder and slightly peppery. Finger Root is a key ingredient in Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian cooking, adding a unique taste to curries, soups, and stir-fries. In traditional medicine, it is used for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive health benefits. This hardy perennial is easy to grow in warm climates or containers, making it a great addition to herb gardens.

Great addition to my sewing table!
I ordered two of these to give me a little more room on my sewing table. One for the backside and one for the left side. Worked out great! Very sturdy and not hard to install (followed directions). I just extended when I need room and fold when not in use. I would recommend these to anyone who just needs a little more table/room.

Not very sturdy
The oak that this is made of is very nice. The little bit of extra counter space is nice. The problem is the bracket to hold it up is kind of small and flimsy, so the shelf won't bear much weight. It will be ok for putting light things on. Also had a problem getting it to hang flat in the down position.

Don't know about these items and ratings have nothing to do with product because the next day air has been sitting in the UPS building for a week now.

No quality control.
Look at other options. Received with hinge already attached to the wood, at an angle. Tried to contact seller, no response. I fixed it myself. Rather than having hinge attached they should just let the buyer install the hinge. Made in Vietnam.
