Ginger (Zingiber officinale), is a plant whose rhizome is often used as a spice and raw
material for traditional medicine. The rhizome is in the form of a bulging finger in the middle
sections. The dominant spicy taste felt from ginger is caused by a ketone compound called
zingerone
Ginger is the family Zingiberaceae (tumenic) family. The scientific name for ginger was
given by William Roxburgh
Ginger root is actually a rhizome. It is available in various forms, the most common of which are whole raw roots. It is commonly known as fresh ginger. A piece of rhizome, called 'hand', has a light yellow inner and a distinct skin color from brown to off-white. When they are still immature, their fresh roots impart the freshest flavor, so the roots are collected and shipped, the outer skin being a light green color. These can sometimes be found in Oriental markets. We are a leading supplier of Fresh Ginger to various destinations in and across the globe.
