Beehive Ginger Fun Facts

The plant is commonly known in the West by the common name “beehive ginger”, due to its unusual inflorescences which resemble a skep beehive. It is also referred to by the common names “Ginger wort” or “Malaysian ginger”.

Its botanical name is Zingiber spectabileThe Beehive Ginger leaves and rhizomes are used to flavor food. Its young rhizomes are sliced, soaked in vinegar, and used as an appetizer. Young tender shoots are eaten as ulam, fresh as salad.

The Beehive cones last for months. They grow in bright tones of yellow, orange, and even chocolate. The red cones are a sign that they have matured.
