Ginger (Zingiber officinale)) is a perennial tropical plant of the Zingiberaceae family, known for its aromatic and spicy rhizome. It is widely cultivated in warm and humid regions, mainly in South Asia, India and China. The plant grows to a height of 60-120 cm, has long lanceolate leaves with a bright green color and produces yellow or white flowers with purple hues, which form impressive inflorescences. The rhizome, which is the main medicinal part of the plant, is located below the ground and is fleshy, with a characteristic aroma and warming taste. Ginger thrives in rich, well-drained soils and is harvested about 8-10 months after planting, when the rhizome is fully developed.
