What is Ginger?
Ginger is a flowering plant whose rhizome, or root, is widely used as a spice and natural remedy. Known scientifically as Zingiber officinale, it has a spicy and aromatic flavor. Ginger is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, digestive benefits, and as a warming ingredient in culinary and medicinal traditions worldwide.
Where is it sourced?
Ginger is primarily sourced from tropical and subtropical regions such as India, China, Indonesia, and Nigeria. It thrives in moist, fertile soil and is harvested year-round. The rhizome, or underground stem, is carefully dug up, cleaned, and dried before being used fresh or in various forms like powder, oil, or as a supplement.
