Ginger has a lemon like taste and is quite pungent. Originating in Central Asia with some 50% on the world’s crop being harvested in India, it is a valued and most important spice. It is no wonder that it is used in traditional dishes, especially milk based curries. Besides this, ginger tea is a spicy and healthy drink that finds favor in hot climates.

During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, ginger was used to flavor beer. Ginger is also reported to have high antioxidant properties that make it a free radical scavenger.
