Ginger

Ginger is a widely used spice and medicinal root known for its distinct sharp, peppery flavor and warming aroma. Derived from the rhizome of the Zingiber officinale plant, ginger can be used fresh, dried, powdered, pickled, or as an oil or juice. In cooking, it is a key ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, particularly in Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Ginger is also highly valued for its health benefits—it is known to aid digestion, reduce nausea, and possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Whether used in tea, curries, stir-fries, or baked goods, ginger adds a flavorful and health-boosting kick to a variety of recipes.
