This ginger is known as baby ginger–it has a crisper/fresher texture and flavor than what we normally buy in the store because it’s harvested earlier –and it is gorgeous too. Think ginger tea, ginger scones, carrot ginger soup, ginger and greens, ginger and sweet potatoes, gingerbread… well you get the picture. In addition to being really tasty, ginger is a great anti-inflammatory and digestive aid and it helps fight the common cold. It freezes well, so any that you’re not going to use right away can be frozen for future use. Frozen ginger grates easily. $12/lb. Sold in half-pound increments.
Related to the baby ginger, this fresh turmeric is also grown in our greenhouse. It can be used any way that powdered turmeric is used—Indian, or Thai cooking, in smoothies or as a tea with or without ginger. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and fights the common cold. Like the baby ginger, it freezes well and is easy to grate while frozen. $14/lb. Sold in half-pound increments
