I f you’re not famil iar with the f ibrous root, you might be puzzled onhow to access its ful l potential . Visit any grocery store and you’ l l f indseveral options. For convenience, you may opt to buy a jar of dryginger. Dried ginger can be a great supplement for recipes and formedicinal purposes. You’ l l a lso f ind jars of fresh ginger. This is betterthan dried, but my personal recommendation? Check out the grocer ’sfresh produce section and buy the root whole.To peel the skin, s imply take a potato peeler or paring knife andcareful ly remove the tough skin. You’ l l f ind a fragrant, golden fruitinside. You can mince the ginger to add to teas, or you can thinly sl icethe root to add to st ir fr ies, marinades, etc.
