Import Finger Root/Rhizome — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Thailand

Finger root, also known as Chinese ginger or krachai, is a rhizomatous herb cultivated in Thailand. The harvested rhizomes are thick, aromatic and yellow‑brown, with lengths ranging from 5 to 30 cm and diameters of 0.5 to 2 cm. The plant bears hairless, grooved petioles 7‑16 cm long and lanceolate leaves 5‑11 cm wide that display a light‑green surface. Pink to white tubular flowers appear in two seasonal windows, January‑February and April‑June, each measuring about 50‑52 mm. The herb is available throughout the year, allowing continuous supply for buyers.

In the fresh‑herb market, moisture content for finger root is typically 10‑12 % by weight, and proper storage at 0‑4 °C helps retain volatile oils. Standard grade A medicinal herbs are assessed for low foreign matter (usually below 2 %) and a minimum of 85 % intact rhizome pieces. Harvesting is timed to the dry season to maximise essential oil concentration, a practice common across Southeast Asian growers. Suppliers often package the rhizomes in breathable mesh bags to prevent condensation during transport.

Culinary processors use the rhizome as a flavouring agent in Thai and other Asian dishes, while herbal supplement manufacturers value its reported anti‑inflammatory compounds. Exporters and bulk buyers typically request phytochemical certificates and a declaration of pesticide‑free status. S.f.m.
