What Is Ginger?

Ginger is the gnarled bumpy root of the ginger plant Zingiber officiale, which belongs to the same family as turmeric and cardamom. It was domesticated in the islands of Southeast Asia and came to the West via the spice trade. Though there are many varieties of ginger root, the most common has light brown skin and yellow flesh. Ginger is available in six forms: fresh, dried, pickled, preserved, crystallized (or candied), and powdered/ground. It’s easily used both in sweet and savory cooking applications.

Cooking With Fresh Ginger

Ginger packs a lot of versatile flavor into a small number of fresh ingredients, and it can really bring life to a sweet or savory dish.

You’ll often see ginger in baked goods, such as the ever-popular gingerbread cookie or cakes with ginger spice and molasses.

It is just as tasty in savory dishes, such as ginger chicken or stir-fried with ginger and garlic. Its often used to balance out and improve the flavor of spicy dishes or sauces as well.

If you’ve ever had sushi, you’ve undoubtedly even seen the pink pickled ginger garnish that adds the perfect edge to nearly any piece of sashimi or sushi roll.

Drinking Fresh Ginger

Grating or juicing ginger to add to a hot or cold beverage is a delicious way to add fresh ginger to your daily routine.

Consider brewing up some simple tea, adding it to your favorite juice or smoothie, or even adding a little spice to an evening cocktail.
