Is this the same as sand ginger powder? not to be confused with ginger powder, i'm asking if it's the same as "sand ginger powder" (沙姜粉)

I've never heard of "sand ginger" before. Galangal (Alpina galanga) doesn't taste at all like ginger, and methinks it has no relation to ginger. Maybe google "sand ginger" to see what that is.

What is the substitution amount for (9) 1/4" slices fresh galangal which will be strained out after boiling?

Never having boiled fresh galangal, I could only guess. How big are the slices? How much water are they being boiled in? You might have to taste test and determine the quantity of dried galangal to the boiled galangal.

Where is the galangal grown, what country?

galangal, a member of the ginger family, is grown mostly in Africa, India, and the far East; it shows up in Arab as well as some African and Indian recipes. You may want to contact the provider as to the actual country of origin.

Is this also known as sand ginger?

Yes some places would call this sand ginger

Very easy to sprinkle or spoon

It's a very fine powder and it's very easy to mix into water or whatever you're cooking. I made some tea and stirred some in. I used to live in Thailand and had fresh galangal. We would cut a piece and pound it in a mortar. The strength is a big difference. For the price and labor savings this is fine. I still want fresh but it's hard to find and I guess I will have to start growing my own.

Smells so good!

Tastes great in so many types of international recipes. Not as good as fresh, so you might have to use a tad more. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste.
