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 centimeters, has long lanceolate leaves of intense 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, lies underground 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.
