Ginger - Root Yellow Fresh

How to Eat Ginger

There are a number of ways that ginger likely makes its way into your diet on a regular basis, such as in your curries, your pork roasts and your holiday loaves.

You can eat ginger root dried, fresh, pickled, preserved, ground, crystallized, or candied. When preparing ginger, be sure to wash it then grate, slice or chop the inner flesh. You can then hydrate it by soaking it in liquid, such as water, vegetable broth or chicken broth, or you may want to add to a soup or casserole. Pairing pickled ginger with sushi is also a common way to enjoy the ingredient.

Alternatives to including ginger in your diet include drinking ginger tea or natural ginger ale made from soda water, lemon and ginger powder.
