Ginger is the root of the plant Zingiber officinale. It is mainly grown in Asia and is used both in cooking as a spice and in pharma.
It has a rich taste and aroma, as it combines hot, sweet, and lemony taste.
In the kitchen we use ginger to flavor recipes with vegetables, seafood, fish and meat, making sure to add it towards the end of cooking so that it gives as much aroma as possible.
We could also add it in sweet preparations, such as the famous Gingerbread cookies.
Red long pepper is an ancient, but relatively unknown spice.
It originates from India, and is used extensively in Ancient Greece and Rome as a medicinal and culinary ingredient.
They look like small, dried cones, like small pine nuts. Their flavor is warmer and deeper than black pepper with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and sometimes licorice.
They have a persistent spicy aftertaste, but not as "hot" as chili.
To use it, you break the peppercorns into pieces (with a mortar or grinder) before using them. They do not grind easily in a regular pepper mill.
Add them to broths or sauces for a more complex flavor, and in marinades for meat.
Also try in mulled wine or teas with cinnamon and cloves.
