ginger root, dried, cut & sifted

Ginger is the rhizome of a tropical plant native to China, with its name derived from a word for "horn root," which refers to its appearance. It has a slightly sweet, peppery flavor with notes of lemon and rosemary. Ginger is a crucial ingredient for beverages, sweet and savory dishes, Asian, Indian, Japanese, and European cuisines. Use this ginger for traditional baked goods such as ginger snap cookies, pies, muffins, savory dishes, and marinades for pork, fish, vegetables, and poultry.
