Forms Of Ginger :
Ginger is usually available in three different forms:
- Fresh Root Ginger
- Preserved Ginger in brine or Syrup
- Dried Ginger Spice.
Fresh Ginger is usually consumed in the area where it is produced, although it is possible to transport fresh roots internationally. Both mature and immature rhizomes are consumed as a fresh vegetable.
Preserved Ginger is only made from immature rhizomes. Most preserved Ginger is exported. Only the youngest most tender stems of ginger should be used.
Dry Ginger spice is produced from the mature rhizome. As the rhizome matures the flavor and aroma becomes much stronger. Dried Ginger can be grinded and used directly as a spice and also for the extraction of ginger oil.
Processing Of Dried Ginger :
Ginger can be harvested from about 5 months after planting but at this stage they are immature. After 7 months the rhizomes will become less tender and the flavor will be too stronger. Most mature rhizomes for drying are harvested between 8 to 9 months of age when they have a big aroma and flavor. If they are harvested later than this the fibre content will be too high.
Steps for Dried Ginger :
- The fresh rhizome is harvested at between 8 to 9 months of age.
- The roots and leaves are removed and the rhizomes are washed
- The rhizomes have to be ‘killed’ or inactivated. This is done by peeling, rough scraping or chopping the rhizome into slices
- After peeling and washing, the rhizomes are soaked for 2-3 hours in clean water
- The rhizomes are dried. Our method is to lay the pieces on a concrete floor and sun-dry until a final moisture content of 10%. Drying may take anything from 7 to 14 days depending upon the weather conditions.
- After drying, the rhizomes are cleaned to remove any dirt, pieces of dried peel and any other foreign material. An air separator can be used for large quantities.
- The dried rhizomes are packaged into jute bags.
- Dried Ginger can also be kept in room temperature for short period but can be stored in cold storage for their long life.
