Although fresh ginger can be transported internationally, it is typically consumed in the region in which it is grown. Rhizomes are eaten as a fresh vegetable, both mature and immature ones.
The only rhizomes used to make preserved ginger are immature ones. The majority of preserved ginger is shipped overseas. Use only the tenderest, youngest stems of ginger.
The mature rhizome is used to make dry ginger spice. The flavour and aroma of the rhizome intensify with age. Ginger oil can be extracted from dried ginger or it can be ground and used straight as a spice.
Ginger can be harvested about 5 months after planting, but it is still immature at this stage. After 7 months, the rhizomes will become less tender and the flavour will be overpowering. Most mature rhizomes for drying are harvested at 8 to 9 months of age, when they have a strong aroma and flavour. If harvested after this date, the fibre content will be too high.
The best times of year to harvest ginger are usually in January, February, and December. Anticipating the import of ginger? Consider using this crop harvest calendar when scheduling your delivery.
