Spices- Ginger
Ginger is a flowering plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and is widely known for its rhizome, which is used both as a spice and for its medicinal properties. Native to Southeast Asia, ginger has been used for over 5,000 years, not only in cooking but also in traditional medicine. Its sharp, spicy, and slightly sweet flavour makes it a popular ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, and it is a common component in teas, smoothies, and desserts. Ginger is especially prized for its anti-inflammatory and digestive health benefits.
