"When planting from scratch with healthy ginger rhizomes, choose ones with visible buds or "eyes." They would preferably be organically grown, since many supermarket versions have treated roots to prevent sprouting. Soak for a day, then pick a warm location for the initial growth period. After sprouting occurs, move the ginger to a sunnier spot. Make sure the soil has good drainage, and keep it moist but not water-logged. Fertilize it occasionally with natural components like fish emulsion or high-quality compost."
"However, ginger isn't just for adding zest and flavor to sweet and savory dishes. It's known for a wide range of medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea effects. It also contains antioxidants and can support digestion. Putting all that at your fingertips, rain or shine, can be a game-changer in your repertoire of kitchen tricks. Ginger is surprisingly easy to grow indoors, especially in sunny locations like kitchen and dining-room windows."
Ginger (the rhizome) can be cultivated indoors to provide an earthy, spicy food source and medicinal benefits. The root offers anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea effects, contains antioxidants, and supports digestion. Select healthy ginger rhizomes with visible buds or "eyes," preferably organic because supermarket roots may be treated to prevent sprouting. Soak rhizomes for a day, start them in a warm spot, then move to a sunnier location after sprouts appear. Use well-draining soil, keep it moist but not waterlogged, fertilize occasionally with fish emulsion or compost, and harvest pieces by snipping near the soil surface whenever needed.
