Zeodary, Curcuma zedoaria, is a perennial herb and a member of the Zingiberaceae (ginger) family. The plant is native to India and Indonesia, but was introduced to Europe by Arab traders during the sixth century. The spice itself is made from the rhizome of the plant which can range in colour from bright orange to blue-green. It has a scent reminiscent of ginger but actually tastes like a bitter version of ginger. In Indonesia it is ground to a powder and added to curry pastes, whereas in India it tends to be used fresh or pickled.



In Europe it is most commonly available as the dried rhizome which can be used in place of ginger in Thai recipes.
