Detailed Description

Kapiteyn Ginger Zingiber officinale is a highly versatile plant grown for its aromatic, flavour-rich roots. With a long history as both a medicinal plant and a prized culinary spice, ginger adds warmth, depth and fragrance to a wide range of dishes. The roots develop a smooth, knobbly appearance with brown skin and pale yellow flesh, offering a naturally sweet heat that becomes more pungent as the rhizomes mature.

Perfect for use in teas, curries, stir-fries, baked goods and preserves, fresh homegrown ginger allows you to harvest exactly when the flavour suits your cooking needs.
