Growing Ginger Root

Growing your own ginger plant is fairly easy to do because it is a relatively forgiving plant. The biggest draw back is the time it takes for ginger to mature.

It will take approximately one year before the plant can be harvested for the ginger rhizomes. At this point, the underground rhizome that we know as the spice ginger, should be thick, fleshy, and packed with flavor!

Since ginger plants like warm temperatures and plenty of humidity, they will need to be brought indoors during cold weather. The plant will appreciate being place by a humidifier and an occasional misting. Ginger is cultivated in tropical and semitropical areas around the world.

Benefit of Ginger

Clinical trials of ginger root have shown the spice to reduce the symptoms of both motion sickness and prenatal nausea. Other studies also indicate ginger may have anti-inflammatory properties, improve memory function, lower cholesterol, and even be a antioxidant. These claims however need more research to confirm their validity.
