Ginger
Zingiber officinale X2862
One of the oldest known and most widely consumed spices. In the East the fresh roots are prominent in savoury dishes of meat, poultry and fish, while in the West ground dried ginger is a traditional baking and pudding spice. The Chinese have long recognized its potent stimulating and digestive properties; even today it is still the best home remedy for flatulence, nausea, nervous diarrhea, indigestion and dysentery.
