It came with so much juicy looking ginger!!

This young ginger was very fresh and not stringy or fibrous at all. I would buy again, even though it is more pricey than regular store-bought ginger.

Younger ginger and chicken

Jasmyt1986

Super fresh and tender. Pickling red ginger.

sfgigi

As others said, it's not very tender and has a lot of fiber, but it's good if you can buy it.

My mother said it’s a bit old, but I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

When I was little, my mother would fry tender ginger chicken. When I grew up, I learned that young ginger is seasonal and hard to find in the Bay Area. I didn’t know before that I should buy ordinary ginger for stir-frying, the taste is much different!

Julie

He is so old that he can only be used as old ginger. I bought it a few times before and after, they are all so old, hey

I bought it and made Sichuan kimchi, and since then realized the freedom of kimchi

mellamoeva

I have always believed in weee, but I felt wrong when I got tender ginger this time. First of all, it is not tender, and it is much older than before. Then one-fifth of the weight was lost. After all, things that are not cheap are still lacking. I hope I can pay attention to it in the future.

周阿谧

It’s been a long time since I had fried beef with shredded ginger, so happy to be able to buy tender ginger

It's cheap and will use it to replace fresh ginger

I purchased to put in seasoning sachets for soups, stocks, and stews. I include dried ginger even though I will also use fresh ginger in the recipe.

The ginger flavor is very strong ~ it expanded more than a little after cooking

It’s too big for a pack, I don’t know how to eat it until the year of the monkey. But when it was received, it was really fresh, that is, it will be more perfect with less energy in the future.
