Description/Taste
Ginger is a knobby, multiple branched rhizome found in many different shapes and sizes. The skin ranges in color from light to dark tan, depending on the variety, and is semi-rough with occasional callouses and rings ridged along the surface. The thickness of the skin is directly related to whether the rhizome was picked early or mature. Underneath the skin, the flesh is firm, fibrous, and ranges in color from yellow to brown. The rhizome is also highly fragrant with a warm, woody scent. When fresh, Ginger is juicy and crunchy with a pungent, spicy, and slightly sweet taste.
Seasons/Availability
Ginger is available year-round.
Current Facts
Ginger, botanically classified as Zingiber officinale, is the underground rhizome or root stem of a tropical herb that can grow up to one meter in height above ground and belongs to the Zingiberaceae family along with cardamom and turmeric. There are over 1,300 species of Ginger that are found across the world in tropical climates, and the rhizome has a unique growth pattern of traveling horizontally underground, producing new roots and stems to propagate the perennial plant. Ginger is known as one of the first spices carried from Asia to Europe by Arab traders and has been highly revered for centuries for its aromatic, culinary, and medicinal properties. It is also considered to be one of the most universal spices, used in many different culinary applications and cuisines.
Nutritional Value
Gingerol is the primary compound that gives fresh Ginger its zesty pungency and is related to capsaicin, the component that provides chiles with their spiciness. The rhizome is also well-known for its use in treating nausea and indigestion and contains anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger contains terpenes and an oleo-resin called Ginger oil, which along with other properties in the plant, act as an antiseptic, lymph-cleanser, circulation-stimulator, and induce perspiration to cleanse the body of toxins. It also contains vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and some iron.
Applications
Ginger can be utilized in both raw and cooked applications and is most often used as a spice or herb in fresh, dried, ground, pickled, or powdered form. When raw, the rhizome can be minced and added to smoothies, shredded and mixed into salads, noodle dishes, or tofu dishes, and blended into dressings and marinades. Ginger can also be used in cooked applications, tossed into soups, curries, roasts, and stews, baked into cookies, bread, and muffins, or used to flavor meats, gravies, and vegetable dishes. In addition to culinary dishes, Ginger is often used as a flavoring for beer, tea, candies, and lozenges, or it can be pickled and paired with fresh seafood or kimchi. Ginger pairs well with meats such as poultry, beef, pork, and fish, other seafood, carrots, Brussel sprouts, spinach, lentils, chickpeas, cranberries, and chocolate. The rhizome will keep for one month when stored in a paper or plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. The rhizome can also be grated and frozen.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
In Asia, Ginger is frequently used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine as a warming element to reduce symptoms associated with nausea, indigestion, and muscle pain. The rhizome can be used fresh or dried and is also pressed into an essential oil for topical use. Ginger is made into an herbal tea in the Philippines called salabat, which is consumed to relieve nausea and to ward off flu and colds.
Geography/History
Ginger is native to tropical Asia and has been cultivated since ancient times. The first record of Ginger dates back to around 2000 BCE, and Arab traders introduced the rhizome to Rome and Greece. It wasnāt until the middle ages that Ginger gained popularity outside of the Mediterranean and Spanish explorers brought the root to the new world in the mid-1500s. Today, Ginger is widely cultivated across the world and is available through specialty grocers, local markets, and supermarkets in Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, the Caribbean, and in North, Central, and South America.
