Ginger

Description

Ginger is a flowering plant that originated in Southeast Asia. It belongs to the family Zingiberaceae, and its scientific name is Zingiber officinale. The plant produces a thick, knobby rhizome (underground stem) called ginger root. Ginger is known for its distinct, spicy aroma and flavour, which comes from its essential oils, including gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone.
