Fresh Jamaican Ginger Root | Cooking, Sorrel & Tea

Fresh Ginger for Bold Caribbean Flavor

Fresh Jamaican ginger root adds a warm, peppery bite and bright aroma to everyday cooking and favorite Caribbean recipes. Grate it into a marinade, crush it into a pot of sorrel, or simmer thin slices for a fragrant ginger drink.

Keep a piece ready for weeknight curries and stir-fries, then use a little more to bring lively spice to weekend baking. Fresh ginger gives you the flexibility to slice, mince, grate, or juice it to suit the dish.

What You Receive

• Product: Fresh ginger root for culinary use, not powdered ginger, seeds, or live starter plants.
• Weight options: 1/4 pound, 1 pound, or 5 pounds.
• Sold by weight: The number and size of pieces vary.
• Natural variation: Shape, branching, skin color, and fiber content can differ between roots.

Ways to Use Fresh Ginger

• Crush or grate into jerk seasonings, marinades, curries, soups, and sauces.
• Slice for sorrel, ginger tea, and other homemade drinks.
• Mince for stir-fries or blend into seasoning pastes and dressings.
• Add to cakes, cookies, chutneys, and preserves using a suitable recipe.

Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Finely grated ginger distributes flavor throughout a dish, while larger slices are easier to remove after simmering.

Preparation

Rinse under clean running water and scrub gently to remove surface dirt. Trim away damaged portions and peel thinly if desired, using a spoon or vegetable peeler. Slice, grate, mince, or crush with clean utensils according to your recipe.

Handle cut ginger with clean hands and keep preparation surfaces clean. Discard pieces that are moldy, slimy, or have an unusual odor rather than using them in food or drinks.

Storage

Unpack on arrival and inspect the roots. Refrigerate ginger dry and protected from excess moisture; avoid sealing wet pieces in a container. Once cut, keep refrigerated and use promptly.

For longer storage, freeze clean, dry pieces in a freezer-safe container or bag. Frozen ginger can be grated directly into cooking without thawing the entire piece. Freshness and storage life vary with arrival condition and handling.
