Mango Ginger, scientifically known as Curcuma amada, is a unique tropical spice plant that belongs to the turmeric family (Zingiberaceae). It is widely used in Indian cuisine and traditional medicine for its distinctive raw mango-like aroma combined with the mild spiciness of ginger. The edible part of the plant is its underground rhizome, which looks similar to ginger but has a pale yellow flesh. When cut or crushed, it releases a refreshing mango fragrance, making it a popular ingredient in pickles, chutneys, salads, and Ayurvedic preparations. The Mango Ginger plant is a low-growing herb with long, green leaves and thrives well in warm, humid climates like Kerala. It is easy to cultivate and is commonly grown in home gardens and small farms.Botanical name: Curcuma amada,Native to India
