Knobby and Gnarly, ginger is as tantalizing to the palate as it is to the eyes with aromatic, pungent and spicy notes all its own. Also called ginger root, ginger is not actually a root at all, but rather a fleshy rhizome. Rhizomes are the underground stems of the ginger plant, that branch out with ginger’s characteristic thick, thumb-like protrusions. Depending on the variety, ginger’s flesh can be yellow, white or red in color and is covered with a brownish skin that may either be thin if it was harvested young or thicker if it was harvested when mature.
