Ginger is an important ingredient in many spice blends and is an excellent flavour for pumpkin, carrots, squash, sweet potato, as well as being used in tagines and slow-cooked meat dishes.
Ginger also suits many sweet dishes as well such as ginger bread, cake, and biscuits, and combines well with the flavours of bananas, pears, and pineapples. It also has an application in the production of ginger beer.
