Fresh Ginger is an aromatic underground rhizome widely used as a culinary ingredient and spice in domestic and international markets. It has a characteristic pungent flavour, fresh fragrance, and a fibrous, juicy interior. Fresh ginger is commonly used in cooking, beverages, sauces, marinades, pickles, and food processing. It is supplied in different sizes and grades according to buyer requirements, with export-quality roots generally selected for freshness, firmness, cleanliness, and freedom from serious damage or decay. Proper harvesting, sorting, cleaning, ventilation, and temperature-controlled storage can help preserve product quality during transport and distribution.
