Ginger root, or zingiber officinale, is a tropical herb with a zesty, warming flavor profile that has been used as a spice in food and beverages for thousands of years. Most likely native to tropical Asia, it has been widely cultivated throughout the world’s tropical regions for so long that the exact origin is unclear. The earliest written use references come from antient China and India where it was used both as a seasoning and in the respective traditional medicine disciplines of the regions.
