Els Posted December 5, 2023 at 10:34 AM Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 at 10:34 AM In a Shanghai supermarket I bought fresh ginger that tasted very sweet. Do not sweetened, just fresh. I can not find it in Europe, who knows what this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtuphe Posted December 6, 2023 at 11:43 AM Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 at 11:43 AM Maybe it's tender ginger or stem ginger I don't know how to call it in English but in China we call it 仔姜. I don't eat normal ginger, but 仔姜 is ok to me so it might be what you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted December 9, 2023 at 01:17 AM Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 at 01:17 AM Fresh ginger is easy to find in China, but not in the US. I don't know first hand about Europe. The ginger typically sold in grocery stores here in the US is the cured (partially-dried) rhizome. That process makes it last longer (improves shelf life) and intensifies the flavor. In China that kind of ginger is called 老姜。Green ginger, freshly dug, was sold in Kunming as 生姜。As you say, it's milder and sweeter. Delicious. (@Xtuphe -- Sounds like it has more than one name. Not surprising.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
