1. 1

   Ginger is sold fresh or ground. When fresh, it comes as gingerroot, a knobby, woody root (actually a rhizome) that must be peeled and grated, sliced, or chopped before being used. Ginger is used to flavor both savory and sweet dishes, such as soups, stews, curries, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, seafood, fruit, preserves, syrups, and sauces. Ginger is essential in many Asian, Indian, and African dishes. Crystallized ginger is sweetened ginger and is used mainly to garnish desserts.
