Ginger
Ginger has a strong reputation as a staple ingredient in cooking and has been used on a daily basis for many centuries. The pungent aroma of fresh ginger and its slight spiciness provide immediate flavour to both sweet and savoury items. In addition to contributing flavour to food, ginger is well known for its health advantages. It complements heavy foods by bringing additional lightness, provides extra flavour to the natural ingredients, and finishes with a clean and refreshing sensation on the tongue.
The dense nature of ginger allows it to release flavour when cooked for long periods of time or used fresh, as the natural oils will release multiple layers of flavour. All of this indicates the value of ginger due to its consistent flavour and aroma.
