What is Tuhau?

Tuhau (Etlingera coccinea) is a wild ginger plant found deep in the rainforests of Borneo, and one of Sabah's most treasured culinary secrets. Unlike common ginger, Tuhau carries a distinctly pungent, earthy aroma — bold and complex, with a flavour that is at once sharp, tangy, and deeply savoury. For generations, the indigenous communities of Sabah have harvested Tuhau by hand from the forest floor, using it as a prized condiment and flavour base in traditional cooking. Its unique taste is unlike anything else in the world — a true expression of Borneo's rich biodiversity and culinary heritage.

Beyond its exceptional flavour, Tuhau is a nutritional powerhouse. Rich in antioxidants, this remarkable plant is considered a true superfood that supports overall wellness. Tuhau is particularly valued for its digestive benefits, helping to promote healthy digestion and supporting your body's natural processes. When you choose Tuhau, you're not just elevating your dishes—you're nourishing your body with one of nature's finest gifts.
