The ginger is the root of the plant.
The part of the plant that ginger comes from is the rhizome or the underground stem of the plant. One medicinal use of ginger is for the treatment of nausea.
Ground Ginger comes from the ground lol it comes from plants!!!!!!!
In rhizomes - i.e the 'root ginger' part of the ginger plant, and the 'potato' part of the potato plant. Howeve the potato is a tuber, not a rhizome.
Ginger is a spice made from the root of the ginger plant. Ginger root refers to the actual underground part of the plant that is used in cooking and for its medicinal properties.
The most commonly used part of a ginger plant is the rhizome, which is the underground stem that is harvested for culinary and medicinal purposes.
Yes, ginger root and ginger are the same thing. Ginger root is the underground part of the ginger plant that is commonly used as a spice in cooking.
It depends. If the wild ginger your talking about is a spice, then yes. The spice ginger comes from a flower. But not red ginger also known as ginger flower or alpinia purpurata. Hmmm...well if you are talking about spice ginger, then it is a flowering plant. The ginger comes from the tuber which it grows underground. The ginger you see in the supermarket is called Jamaican ginger. The problem here is the word flower. a flower is only part of a plant but in common usage has become the word for flowering plant. In answer to the question I think, wild ginger is a plant that has flowers.
No, ginger is a plant, or part of a plant. It contains both acidic and basic components. The main component of the essential oil of ginger is zingiberene, which is a hydrocarbon; neither an acid nor an alkaline.
Ginger is the name of the entire plant. The bulbous parts you see in shops are actually called 'Rhizomes', however most places call them 'ginger root' to avoid confusion(the actual roots grow out of the Rhizomes, and they are rarely used in food). The leaves can be used to flavour food, and the flowers are also edible.
Underground Stem
The rhizome is the part of ginger that will grow into a new plant. It is a swollen underground stem that produces roots and shoots to develop into a new ginger plant. This rhizome contains stored nutrients that help the new plant establish itself and grow.
