Description
Ginger,
Ginger has a very intense and distinctive aroma. Its very pronounced, slightly fruity taste, similar to that of citrus fruits, is given by the substance gingerol found in ginger.
Good to know
Ginger originally from South America can change its color to light blue or green after cutting. This is due to the oxidation of the pulp after cutting, a phenomenon specific to ginger grown in this area.
Use
Ginger is used to flavor sauces, but also in soups, in some countries. It is widely used for making teas, helping the immune system fight colds and flu. Ginger is often used as an ingredient or condiment in fruit and vegetable smoothies or in lemonades. Ginger jam is one of the most spectacular in the world, due to the combination of sweet and spicy. Ginger has an important place in oriental cuisine, being a condiment used in the preparation of beef, duck and chicken.
Our tip: Ginger lemonade
Put cold water in a carafe to which add the juice of 3-4 lemons, a few slices of lime, honey, then grate some ginger. Pay attention to the amount of grated ginger. In large quantities, the taste of lemonade can become very spicy.
Storage conditions
Fresh ginger should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. If kept in the refrigerator, it dries out, oxidizes and can eventually mold.
