Culinary security 1
I have wrestled with availability of galangal (also known, but not widely, as Laos root) for 35 years, now. It is a critical ingrediant for home-made kecap manis and a host of southeast Asian dishes, like rendang. Thirty five years ago, tracking down galangal/laos was an exercise in pure masochism, with no internet, long trips to Asian food marts with NO guarentee of success. I have had to settle for desiccated root slices and ancient, tiny plastic jars of powdered Laos root. While I can now buy fresh galangal root at Super H (sometimes) and an international farmers market (30 min drive), I can now approach recipes with galangal without planning procurement expeditions (with uncertain success). I have absolute faith in the freshness of Spice, Inc products, and happily discard my increasingly ancient stores of dry root slices and tiny, dusty plastic jars of Laos dust. Thank you

Powder vs Frozen root
The galangal root powder has certain advantages over using the frozen galangal root. Mainly ease of use, and that the powder still retains great aroma for the dishes that call for galangal. If I were to use the frozen root, it would be via mortar and pestle, combined with other wet and dry spices and herbs.
