Description

Ginger root (Zingiber officinale) is an incredibly aromatic root spice with a distinctive taste, used for centuries for both gastronomic and medicinal purposes. Fresh ginger has pale yellow flesh, while its skin is light brown and slightly rough. Its flavor is pungent, refreshing, and slightly citrusy.

The uses of ginger root are manifold: boiled, steamed, fried, or grated, it is a frequent ingredient in soups, stir-fries, curries, cakes, beverages, and herbal teas. Cuisines worldwide – Indian, Chinese, Thai, Middle Eastern, and European – all give it a prominent place.
