Ginger Root, Zingiber officinale, is from the family Zingiberaceae and is closely related to galangal, turmeric and cardamom. It is a rhizome, not a root, so it produces roots below the ground and shoots above ground. It is a subterranean plant that grows horizontally. In Sanskrit ginger was known as “shringavera”, which translates to “shaped like a deer’s antler.”
Ginger is called zanjabil (Arabic), gan jiang (Mandarin), gingembre (French), ingefer (German), sauth (Hindi), shoga (Japanese), gengibre (Portuguese), imibir (Russian), and jengibre (Spanish). It may also be referred to as East Indian Pepper, Ground Ginger or Ginger Powder
