How to store and properly use ginger?

It is better to buy fresh ginger: the root should be smooth and hard, without specks and mold.

Fresh ginger can be stored in the refrigerator for 6-7 days. The dried root retains its beneficial properties for about 4 months. Unpeeled dried ginger is recommended to be kept in a dark, cool place.

If in the future the rhizome will be used to make tea or sauces, it must be peeled, thinly sliced, poured with white grape wine and kept in the refrigerator. In this form, ginger can be stored for several weeks.

If long-term storage is required, fresh, unpeeled root can be wrapped in cling film and placed in freezer. Re-freezing after thawing of the product is not allowed. Before use, cut off the desired amount of root and put the rest in the freezer.

A large amount of useful substances is contained at the surface of the ginger root, therefore, when peeling it, cut off the skin in a very thin layer.

Some medicinal and cooking recipes suggest the use of ginger juice, which can be obtained by pressing the grated root. Juice is used to dress salads and sweet dishes. Dried ginger is usually soaked before consumption. Keep in mind that it is spicier than fresh, so if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, you can replace it with 1 teaspoon of dried root powder.

Dried ginger has higher anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties, so it is used to treat arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Fresh ginger differs from dry ginger in its chemical composition, and its beneficial properties are mainly aimed at preventing and treating problems of the digestive system.

Ginger root is used fresh, pickled or dried (usually as a powder). Fresh ginger is very fragrant, but dry ginger is more pungent in taste. Before using a fresh root, you need to peel off the skin from it, and then grate it.

Ginger can be used both separately and in combination with other plants, such as mint or lemon balm, the healing properties of which it enhances. Together with ginger, honey, lemon, garlic extract and various spices (nutmeg, cardamom, turmeric, etc.) are often used.

  List of used literature

Hello, my dear regular and occasional guests! Quite spontaneously, I got an article today. She sat down to drink tea, relaxed and suddenly realized that she had not shared with you the secret of her favorite drink. And I have it special, oriental. This is ginger tea, the benefits and harms of which I will now tell you.

Not everyone shares my passion. Some do not understand the specific spicy taste this plant, but those who appreciate it fall in love with it forever. And not in vain, because the benefits of ginger tea are multifaceted and really deserve a separate article. This is the case when tasty does not mean harmful.

What are the benefits of ginger tea

In recent times, everything oriental has been very fashionable. Who learns the language, who is engaged in aromatherapy, who plunged into mastering the technology of making sushi. Previously, I considered ginger only an addition to this new dish. Until I was treated to tea with ginger and lemon. And so our love began at the first sip.

Since then, I have learned a lot about this plant. In the East, it is used both as a seasoning, and as a cure for many ailments, and for weight loss, and simply to increase immunity.

When it was brought to Europe, it was used not only in cooking, but was even considered for some time an effective cure for the plague. They still had enough of the plague, but the spicy root really copes with other ailments on a par with synthetic drugs. So, due to its beneficial properties, ginger tea is used in folk medicine for such purposes:

• for weight loss (the girls pricked up their ears);
• relieve muscle fatigue;
• against heartburn;
• to normalize the functioning of the liver, improve the discharge of bile;
• strengthening immunity;
• relief of symptoms of seasickness (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea);
• improve blood circulation;
• acceleration of metabolism;
• as a tonic;
• to maintain glucose levels;
• elimination of unpleasant odor from the oral cavity;
• combat flatulence and fermentation in the intestines;
• solving women's and men's problems in the sexual sphere;
• and much more.

Today, scientists have identified more than 140 species of this plant, the popularity of which is so high that it can be bought without any problems even in our village. It is best to purchase fresh ginger root.

It is white and black, the latter is more bitter. Before buying, pay attention to the cut - the more yellowness in it, the older and weaker it is. healing properties. The qualitative composition of the young root is rich in such components:

• vitamins C, B, A;
• trace elements (calcium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium);
• amino acids;
• essential oils;
• and all sorts of difficult-to-pronounce compounds (gingerol, phellandrene, borneol, methionine, etc.)

Important! But ground ginger is not at all suitable for making medicinal teas, everything useful in it has long been “weathered”.

I won't go into detail here. But depending on the various additives, it either invigorates or soothes, tones up or, on the contrary, relieves nervous tension. In some retail chains, I met a ready-made collection from the manufacturer Aidigo. Sold in bags for single brewing with cloves and cardamom, dried lemon and ginger shavings. It is recommended as a tonic and anti-influenza agent.

By the way! Delicious and healthy tea can be prepared not only from ginger. On the blog, I talk about other types of tea:

• The benefits of rosehip tea
• Benefits of bergamot tea

Carefully! Contraindications and harm

Sadly, the benefits and harms of ginger tea go hand in hand. Not everyone can afford to appreciate a wonderful drink with an oriental spice root. Ginger is a natural catalyst, it accelerates blood flow, which means it tones, warms, and excites. Therefore, give up such fragrant tea if:

• you are prone to allergies;
• you have a fever;
• suffer from cardiovascular diseases;
• with problems with blood clotting;
• with exacerbation of chronic diseases of the digestive system.

In addition, due to its ability to thin the blood, ginger in any form should not be used for bleeding and before the upcoming operation. It's also better to drink ginger drinks in the morning rather than at night if you don't want to count the lambs jumping over the fence.

Ginger teas are very tasty and many people completely replace regular tea with them. Isn't it harmful? How much can you drink drinks with a spicy root? Do not worry, if you have no contraindications and after a cup of hot liquid you do not experience dizziness or slight malaise, then drink to your health until you get bored. It is important for true lovers to know that the rate of dried ginger should not exceed 4 grams per day.

Ginger tea for the beautiful half of humanity

• manifestations of toxicosis at the beginning of pregnancy;
• intense menstrual pain;
• migraine and irritability;
• hormonal disorders;
• chronic inflammation in the genitals, adhesions.

In the East, it is believed that the drink helps in the treatment of infertility, fibroids in the uterus, to improve well-being during menopause. I will offer you a couple of women's recipes that one day can be very helpful in solving intimate problems.

With toxicosis

Whether it is possible for pregnant women to take such a drink depends on the period. In the last trimester and after childbirth, when the time comes for breastfeeding, it is not recommended to drink decoctions with ginger. Although they do not harm the fetus, they can provoke undesirable processes in the mother's body. But at the beginning of the journey, when toxicosis is unbearably tormented, it is easy to relieve nausea with such a drink:
