\r\n \r\n Lauded for its digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, fresh ginger offers a unique, spicy-sweet bite and warming effect. Originally from Southeast Asia, ginger �root� is actually a rhizome�an underground-growing stem. It�s very fibrous; for easy prep, peel and then chop against the grain, or grate.

\nSelect and store
\n
\nIn produce aisles, you�ll find fresh ginger in large, knobby sections; just snap off what you need. The light-brown skin should look smooth and shiny; sections should be plump, with no shriveling. Cut off any bumps (save for making tea or adding to soup), and then scrape off the thin skin with a spoon.

\n
\nTea. For a throat-soothing or antinausea drink, place 1�2 tablespoons grated or chopped fresh ginger in a mug; cover with boiling water and steep for 5 minutes or more. Sweeten if desired.
\n
\nJuice. Add a small knob of fresh ginger, peel and all, to your juicer with carrots, beets, and hand-squeezed orange juice.
\n
\nGreens. Stir chopped fresh ginger into saut�ed kale, spinach, or bok choy, along with garlic and crushed red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant.
