GINGER ZINGIBER OFFICINALE

Ginger is an old medicinal plant that was one of the first spices to be exported from Asia. Produces smooth, fat, knobbly brown skinned roots with a pale-yellow flesh that has a warm, sweet flavour. If left to mature longer, the flavour will become more pungent. Ginger can be used to flavour a whole range of dishes in the kitchen whether it be tea, curries, preserves or baked.
