What is ginger?
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose root, together with the horizontal stem, is widely used as a spice or folk medicine.
The plant itself can grow up to one meter in height and bears narrow green leaves and yellow flowers.
It is the rhizome that is the part of the ginger plant used in herbal medicine.
This part of the plant grows horizontally on, or just below, the soil surface.
It is therefore often referred to as ginger root.
Ginger belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which also includes turmeric (Curcuma longa), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) and galangal.
The English origin of the word “ginger” is from the mid-15th century, from Old English gingifer, from the Latin used in the Middle Ages gingiber, from Greek zingiberis.
