Fresh Ginger is Here!

Posted on October 1st, 2024 by Farm Manager

Our fresh young ginger is one of the more unique crops we grow here at Root 5 Farm and you may be wondering: "Why does this ginger look different from the brown stuff I buy at the store?" 

Because of our short growing season and the impending frost, we harvest our ginger at a tender young stage before it's developed a thick skin. This juicy, plump, pink-tinged delicacy is a powerhouse of flavor and nutrients, and freezes exceptionally well. Pair with a sugar pumpkin in your share this week to give some delicious pumpkin ginger soup a try, and/or use with Kiss the Cow cream-top milk to make this lovely golden milk. Check out our website for more storage tips and recipe ideas!

Enjoy!
