Ginger is native to Southeast Asia and is now also cultivated in Africa, Australia, and Jamaica. Ginger was introduced to Europe and the Middle East from the Orient in a dried form, which explains why many dishes call for dried ginger rather than fresh. Ginger is a rhizome (root) and grows underground as a thick, tuberous stem bearing both roots and shoots.
This spice is pungent, warm, and peppery with light, lemony notes and pairs well with cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and paprika.
Add to baked goods or savory dishes. Try in Asian dishes, sauces and marinades.
Ginger is a natural in baked goods but don't forget it when cooking savory foods such as sauces, vegetables, veal, venison or pork.
