It wasn't until I joined this field day last fall that I really got to understand many information about ginger. I learned that it is a good source of anti-oxidants and has many other tremendous benefits to health. Yesterday, as I celebrated my birthday (alone "sob") in a Chinese eat-all-you can, I was looking for something that wasn't there. I was looking for ginger. There wasn't a piece of ginger or a trace of it in the food I ate. Or, there might have been - just very faint it was hardly noticeable.
I went out with some staff from university for this ginger field day. They are teaching farmers to grow ginger in spite of America's freezing temperatures. Marketing ginger was also discussed; and I think it is so much better to classify ginger in terms of size rather than put a big tuber in the vegetable section and let shoppers snap them to pieces.
A dollar an ounce. I could grow ginger in the province in the Philippines and make a fortune out of it. Because they thrive in warmer climates, ginger is best grown in heated sheds for the cold months.
Really love these farm structures here.
I'm imagining a ginger plantation.
Ginger as big as your hand.
Gotta write this down in my potential business venture list. :)
