Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What does "Inji Kothu" mean?
Inji translates to ginger in Tamil/Malayalam, and Kothu refers to a cluster or bunch of roots. This means you receive a connected hand/cluster of fresh ginger roots rather than loose pieces.
-
Why is the weight specified as "Approx" 200g?
Because fresh ginger roots grow in natural, irregular clusters of varying shapes and sizes, it is challenging to cut them to an exact dead-weight. The 200g pack represents a close average measurement.
-
How should I store fresh ginger to make it last longer?
Keep unpeeled ginger in a paper bag or a breathable mesh pouch inside the refrigerator crisper drawer. Alternatively, you can freeze it whole or chopped for long-term storage.
-
Can ginger help with cold and nausea?
Yes! Ginger has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and home remedies to naturally alleviate symptoms of nausea, motion sickness, and upper respiratory congestion.
-
Do I need to peel the skin before using it?
It is generally recommended to scrape off or peel the thin outer skin using a spoon or knife before grating or chopping, especially for smooth pastes and fine curries.
