Ginger is a brown, knobby, bulb-like rhizome. To pick
good ginger, look for brown, papery skin and hard, consistent
texture. It is best stored in the refrigerator in a plastic
bag. It adds a very distinct flavor depending on the preparation.
When cut or sliced, it will provide a subtle spicy sweet
flavor. To magnify the flavor, mince or grate the ginger
to allow it to melt better. Ginger has an interesting history.
Many years ago it was traded with the same value of gold
in China and India.
