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.
