Thanks Shau, for the ID. Dont know that its palatable, we only know the fruits can be eaten its sour in taste...mostly the kampung kids ate it with salt or soy sauce.....
I love to cook with this ginger flower.
Thanks Susan for your visit, its actually a family of ginger but wild and its fruiting, will upload the fruit for your reference.
