Ginger is a spice that is the dried and peeled rhizome of the ginger
plant zingiber officinale. the fragrance ranges from pungent to
piquant at once; the flavor can be sharp or cooling depending on
the food with which it is used. fresh (green) ginger is obtained from
the cleaned, peeled, and cured rhizome; dried ginger is the fresh
product which has been cured and ground for spice. it is used in
desserts, meats, sauces, relishes, baked goods, and beverages.
