About Zedoary (Kachur)
Curcuma zedoaria is a perennial herb of the ginger family native to India and Indonesia. It is grown in Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal, the north-eastern states and other parts of India, as well as in Sri Lanka, Thailand, China and Japan. Its rhizomes look like turmeric on the outside but are pale yellow to white inside, with an aroma that is a mix of ginger, camphor and mango. In India, zedoary is called kachur or kachoor and is used in Ayurveda, in some pickles and in traditional cosmetic powders.
Zedoary was widely used as a spice in medieval Europe, but it was later largely replaced by ginger. In Indonesia, it is used in jamu herbal drinks.
