Ginger, a recovered Mediterranean food

In the Middle ages ginger was a a spice regularly used in cooking, but unfortunately in modern times it was partially forgotten. Now it has made a come back and everyone knows again what it is, and you can buy ginger easily again.

Ginger gives dishes an spicy and scented flavor. On top of this, ginger is a health-promoting herb; it is an excellent digestive.

I use it often -with rice, vegetables, or chicken. Ayurvedic Indian cuisine uses the ginger root or rhizome in many dishes combined with other herbs and spices. Ayurvedic Indian chefs are masters in the use of ginger for cooking, and the Mediterranean countries import a lot of ginger rhizomes for cooking from India or the tropical countries.
