Fresh ginger root

Fresh ginger is the thick, branched underground stem (rhizome) of the ginger plant, with a light brown outer skin and pale yellow interior. It has a spicy, citrusy aroma and a pungent, warm, slightly sweet flavor due to compounds like gingerol. Fresh ginger is juicy and fleshy when young, becoming hotter and more fibrous with age. It is widely used as a spice in cooking and traditional medicine, valued for its distinctive taste and potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and digestive properties
