EN: ginger
The ultimate tita ingredient. If your throat is itchy, salabat (ginger tea). If the tinola is bland, more `luya`. If you need to ward off evil spirits (or just a cold), `luya` is the answer. It's the spicy root that powers the Filipino kitchen and home pharmacy.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *laqia.
A staple in Filipino dishes like Tinola, Arroz Caldo, and Paksiw.
