Ginger Cut Organic

The (sub)tropical world traveler

Ginger is grown in almost every tropical or subtropical country. Ginger is a cultivated root. This means that it does not occur naturally in the wild. Yet ginger has been around for a very long time. It was first cultivated by the Austronesians in maritime Southeast Asia, around 3000 years before Christ. Thanks to a prehistoric migration by sea, the Austronesians extended their territories from Madagascar to Hawaii until 1500 BC. And during these migrations the ginger root came along. Around the first century BC, ginger first arrived in Europe via India. Nowadays the majority of the world's ginger production also takes place in India.

Production process Ginger

The plant is harvested when the leaves have died off in autumn. The rhizomes are dug up and dried in the shade. Younger roots are harvested to be used fresh or pickled. Older rhizomes are ground to obtain ginger powder. Ginger plants are propagated by tearing them.

Applications of Ginger

Ginger is related to Turmeric, Cardamom and Galanga. Ginger is used as a herbal medicine and a versatile spice. It is used in teas, as a flavoring for vegetables, in candy and alcoholic beverages, but also processed in vinegar (such as pickles).
