Ginger, True
- Product number: 831565.1
- Origin: South Asia
- Latin: Zingiber officinalis
True Ginger has a unique, sharp taste and is extracted from the rhizome. Dried ginger is sharper than fresh, and is delicious in cookies and pastries, but also in spicy Asian dishes, jam, vinegar, soft drinks, and even beer. Marco Polo brought ginger from China, where it had been cultivated for 3000 years. Medicinally, ginger is used to increase libido and to combat motion sickness. Place the plant outdoors in summer and keep it frost-free or warmer in winter.
FROM SEPTEMBER TO AROUND MAY, THE PLANT IS DORMANT, AND WE SHIP A POT WITH A TUBER THAT ALREADY HAS A GROWTH HISTORY.
