Description

Ginger is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale, consumed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae).  Other notable members of this plant family are turmeric, cardamom, and galangal.  Tea brewed from ginger is common folk remedy for colds.  Ginger ale and ginger beer are also drunk as stomach settlers in countries where the beverages are made.  Ginger water was also used to avoid heat cramps in the United States.

Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of 6 to 1, although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat different.  Powdered dry ginger root is typically used as a flavoring for recipes such as gingerbread, cookies, crackers and cakes, ginger ale, and ginger beer.
