Mango ginger | Ambehaldi | Curcuma aromatica – Seed

Mango Ginger (Ambehaldi) is a fascinating rhizome that looks like ginger but carries the fresh aroma and flavour of raw green mango. A culinary and medicinal favourite, it is used in pickles, chutneys, salads and Ayurvedic remedies, and valued for its cooling, digestive properties. Plant the seed rhizomes in fertile, well-draining soil with partial shade at the onset of the monsoon; they mature over 8–9 months. Hardy and perennial, mango ginger grows well in pots and garden beds — a unique, low-maintenance addition to any herb or kitchen garden.
