Ginger

Description : Ginger, scientifically known as Zingiber officinale, is a perennial rhizomatous herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, Ginger is widely cultivated for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties. It is characterized by its thick, knobby rhizomes, which are the underground stems from which shoots and roots develop. The rhizomes are covered with a thin, tan-colored skin and have a pale-yellow interior with a pungent, spicy flavor and aromatic fragrance. 

Suitable Climate Condition : Ginger prefers warm, humid climates and is sensitive to frost. It is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions but can be cultivated as a container plant in temperate climates.
