Ginger

Ginger is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root, is widely used as a spice. Ginger adds a fragrant zest to both sweet and savory foods.

The pleasantly spicy “kick” from the root of the ginger plant, is what makes ginger ale, ginger tea, candies and dishes so appealing. Ginger belongs to the same family as turmeric and cardamom.
