Ginger Zingiber is a tropical plant that produces smooth, fat, knobbly brown-skinned roots. The roots have a pale yellow flesh with a warm, sweet flavour. Ginger is commonly used as a spice in cooking, and it is known for its aromatic and pungent taste. Apart from its culinary uses, ginger is also valued for its potential health benefits and medicinal properties. The rhizomes, or underground stems, of ginger are harvested for various purposes, including cooking, brewing tea, and making herbal remedies.
