How to choose
When choosing a ginger root, pay attention to its color: a fresh root will be whitish, very hard to the touch, the skin should be even, without young shoots and dark spots. Young ginger up to 8 centimeters in length is considered the most useful; it is recommended to brew such ginger in drinks along with the peel. Large roots are perfect for cooking in hot dishes.
