Appearance & origins
Ginger is a flowering plant with narrow, lance-shaped leaves and tall, reed-like stems. The rhizome, or underground stem, is the most recognized part of the plant, characterized by its knobby, irregular shape and pale beige to light brown skin. The inside of the rhizome is a vibrant yellow to orange color, with a fibrous texture and a warm, spicy aroma.
Ginger is native to Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including India, China, and parts of Africa and the Caribbean.
