GROUND GINGER

Ginger is the root of a plant native to Southeast Asia, which is then dried and finely ground.
Ginger root is a key ingredient in oriental dishes.

Its spicy and typical flavor makes many meat and fish stews tasty.
The fresh root is spicy and sour, while when dried it is aromatic and delicate, with a faint lemon aroma.

Ground ginger is very useful for incorporating its typical flavor to both sweet and savory preparations (and drinks), without the need to have the fresh root in pieces.
