Ginger Pieces 3-6 mm Organic

Origin and history of ginger

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 most of the world ginger production takes place in India.
