Fresh ginger
Fresh ginger is a knobbly root that comes from the ginger plant. It has a spicy and slightly sweet flavour, adding a zing to dishes. Ginger is commonly used in Asian cuisine for its unique taste and aroma.
To get fresh ginger, farmers harvest the ginger root from the plant. It is then washed, peeled, and can be sliced, grated, or minced for use in various recipes. Fresh ginger can be added to stir-fries, soups, curries, marinades, and even baked goods for a burst of flavour.
Fresh ginger often appears on food labels as a natural flavouring and seasoning. It enhances the taste of many dishes, such as ginger chicken stir-fry, gingerbread cookies, and ginger tea. It can also be used in marinades to tenderise meat or in pickles to add a tangy kick.
