Ginger, formally known as Zingiber officinale, is a flowering plant whose rhizome or root is widely utilized as a spice and in alternative medicine. Native to Southeast Asia, it's grown in many parts of the world today, known for its warm, pungent, and sweet-spicy flavor. The ginger plant bears green leaves and yellow flowers. However, it's the underground part of the stem, the rhizome, that's harvested for consumption.
