Young Ginger

Posted on September 29th, 2020 by Danielle *Allen

Our ginger crop is ready! This is one of the more unique crops we grow here at Root 5 Farm so it deserves some special attention. Our fresh young ginger is juicy and plump with a pink blush. This is because we harvest our ginger at a young stage, before it's developed any skin (our growing season is too short for it to fully mature). Our "young" ginger is more perishable than the stuff you see in stores, but don’t let that discourage you! It freezes exceptionally well-- Be sure to stock up so you can enjoy the health benefits of fresh ginger throughout the winter. We'll have bulk ginger available to purchase for the next 2-3 weeks.
