Fresh ginger root

Description

Fresh ginger root has a distinctive spicy-citrus flavor with a hint of sweetness and a pronounced aroma, while its fleshy, beige-brown skin conceals bright yellow flesh. It is a source of bioactive compounds, primarily gingerols, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; it provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals and supports digestion, alleviates nausea, and boosts metabolism, contributing to overall immune strengthening. In the kitchen, ginger pairs well with Asian dishes, marinades, sauces, soups, stir-fries, baked goods, and infusions, enhancing the flavor of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Store unpeeled root in the refrigerator in a paper towel or perforated bag to avoid mold; peeled ginger can be frozen in pieces or grated, which prolongs freshness and makes it easier to use.
