Ginger
(Ginger) Ginger is a tuber that is consumed whole as a delicacy, medicine, or
spice. It is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale. Fresh ginger can be
substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of 6 to 1 (1/4 cup ginger root = 2 tsp.
ground ginger), although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat
different. Ginger is native to Southern Asia and has long been a staple addition
to Asian cuisines, but its use has spread around the world. The characteristic
odor and flavor of ginger is caused by a mixture of zingerone, shogaols and
gingerols, volatile oils that compose one to three percent of the weight of
fresh ginger, mature ginger having the higher percentage. See the nutritional
chart below.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
