Old Ginger

Old ginger, also known as mature ginger (Zingiber officinale), is the fully grown, mature version of the ginger plant. It has tough, fibrous skin and a strong, pungent flavor that is spicier and more intense than young ginger. The flesh is firmer, more fibrous, and often more fibrous, requiring peeling before use. Old ginger is commonly used in cooking for its robust flavor in stir-fries, soups, curries, and marinades, as well as in beverages like ginger tea. It is also valued for its medicinal properties, such as aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and alleviating nausea.
