What is "ginger"?
Ginger is a pungent and aromatic underground stem of the Zingiber officinale plant. It has a knobby appearance with a tan skin and pale yellow flesh, known for its spicy, slightly sweet flavor and warm, peppery aroma. Commonly used as a spice in Asian and Indian cuisines, it adds depth and heat to dishes, whether used fresh, dried, or ground. Ginger is often added to stir-fries, curries, soups, marinades, and baked goods. Beyond culinary uses, ginger is prized for its medicinal properties, aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and alleviating nausea.
