○ Latin name: Zingiber officinale ○ Dosage: 250 mg per capsule Ginger is a perennial herbaceous plant native to tropical and subtropical Asia, belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. Its fleshy underground stem, called the rhizome, is the part used in cooking and traditional medicine. The aerial stems of ginger can reach about a meter in height and bear elongated, narrow leaves and yellow or red flowers. The rhizome is fleshy, aromatic and slightly pungent, with light brown skin and pale yellow flesh. Ginger is grown in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including India, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Jamaica. It is harvested all year round, but the main harvest period varies by region. ֍ In ancient times, ginger was considered a luxury item and was often used to flavor foods and drinks, as well as to treat various medical conditions. In the Middle Ages, a pound of ginger could cost as much as a sheep. Portuguese explorers also helped popularize ginger in Europe, bringing it with them when they discovered the route to India in the 15th century. Today, ginger is widely used around the world for its culinary and medicinal properties.
