Description
Fresh ginger root brings a fiery kick and zesty citrus undertone to cooking, along with its distinct herbal fragrance. Grown extensively in India, Bangladesh, and Nigeria, ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a staple in curries, teas, stir-fries, and traditional remedies. Whether sliced into soups or grated into sauces, it infuses a warming spice that awakens the palate. The flavor is spicy and peppery with a slight sweetness, and its texture ranges from juicy to fibrous depending on age.
