Fresh Ginger
Buy fresh young ginger root and myoga bulbs
Have you ever tried fresh young ginger - also known as spring ginger or baby ginger? Compared to the mature ginger found in supermarkets, young ginger has light cream-coloured flesh, almost translucent skin and pink tips. Unlike pungent, spicy mature ginger, the young root is mild, tender and juicy. Its firm texture slices easily - a stark contrast to the tough, fibrous nature of old ginger.
This young, fresh ginger is essential for making pickled ginger (simply marinated in a rice vinegar mixture), and you can even eat raw when thinly sliced. It works extremely well with fish, chicken and Asian salads. Garnish sushi, canapés or a stir fry with either sliced or grated young ginger for a fresh, clean spice.
This perishable ginger emerges about six months after planting, making it a seasonal treat. Grown by our Dutch partners, this young ginger is supplied with part of the stem attached to increase shelf life.
