Types, Varieties & Forms

Ginger is processed in different ways for various uses in cooking and industry:

• Fresh Ginger Root: This is used in cooking for its juicy texture and strong, spicy flavor. It is common in Asian dishes, sauces, and drinks.
• Dried Ginger (Whole & Sliced): This version has a long shelf life and is used in teas, spice mixes, and slow cooking.
• Ground Ginger Powder: This is finely ground to mix easily in baking, spice blends, and drink powders.
• Ginger Oil & Extract: These are strong forms of ginger used in supplements, flavors, fragrances, and health products.

Harvest Season

Ginger is usually collected from November to March, based on the climate and type. The roots need about 8 to 10 months to grow fully, which brings out the best flavor and oils. Picking fresh ginger during this time ensures it has a great smell and nutritional value, making it perfect for cooking and making extracts.

The main producers are India, China, Nigeria, and Peru. Prices vary due to factors like where it comes from, how it is dried (by sun or machines), oil content, quality of the cut, and cleanliness.
