Fresh Indian Ginger

タイトルまたは説明

Ginger is a tuber that is consumed whole as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale. It lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Ginger cultivation began in Asia and has since spread to West Africa and the Caribbean. It is sometimes called root ginger to distinguish it from other things that share the name ginger. 

Ginger is used in different forms such as raw ginger, dry ginger, bleached dry ginger, ginger powder, sliced ginger, ginger oil, ginger oleoresin, and ginger in brine etc. It has usage in foods, beverages, preservatives, medicines and perfumery industries. Ginger grows in warm and humid climate. It is mainly cultivated in the tropics from sea level to an altitude of above ***0 MSL. Ginger thrives best in well-drained soils like sandy or clay loam, red loam or lateritic loam. Friable loamy soil rich in humus is ideal. The best time for planting ginger is during the first fortnight of May with the receipt of pre -monsoon showers. Under irrigated conditions, it can be planted well in advance during the middle of February or early March. The land is ploughed **5 times to bring the soil to fine tilth. Weeds, stubbles, roots etc. are removed.

Fresh Ginger is extremely important in oriental and Indian food. It is used to flavour the cooking oil before you toss everything else for stir-frying. It is considered as a restorative, stimulant and a strong flavouring agent. Ginger is reputed to cure ulcers when chewed in small doses. It amply enhances your appetite when blended with other spices. 

The characteristic odor and flavor of ginger is caused by a mixture of zingerone, shogaols and gingerols, volatile oils that compose one to three percent of the weight of fresh ginger.Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly dry. Ginger produces clusters of white and pink flower buds that bloom into yellow flowers. Because of its aesthetic appeal and the adaptation of the plant to warm climates, ginger is often used as landscaping around subtropical homes.
