spice it up
with ginger

One’ of the first oriental spices to reach Europe from its
native Asia was ginger — zingiber officinale. Even though
‘Marco Polo did not bring this spice to Europe, he mentioned
it in his writings.

The fresh tang and the hearty heat of ginger are the essence
of many oriental dishes. Ginger is also used to preserve
biscuits, sweets, ginger bread and cakes and has a tenderzing
effect when used on meats,

The thick, tuberous rhizome (or root) should be carefully
peeled from its silvery-brown skin. Grate or slice these roots
very thinly.

History tells us Greek bakers were using ginger from the
Orient to make gingerbread 4,400 yeas ago. The Spanish us-
ed it as early as the 16th century and it is assumed the Spanish
(Conquistadors) brought this spice to the Americans: via
Jamaica. Because of its popularity among Europeans, the
British imported more than $ million pounds of this spice in
1884,

I should like to add that ginger was known by the Sanskit
name skéngara. The Greeks of the first Century named it as
zingibiris and later on oblained this spice by trading with the
Arabs.

Medicinal uses:

Ginger, asa mild stimulant, promotes circulation, A cup of
ginger tea, brewed in hot water, can be warming and in-
vigoraling., It can be used to soothe indigestion and can
relieve you of stomach gases. This tea can help you to
alleviate motion sickness. According to herbalists, ginger is a
safe and effective herb,

For a warming and invigorating tea pour one pint of boil-
ing water over one ounce of ginger root. Steep for 5 - 20
minutes. Drink it hot. It helps you to feel relaxed and calm.
Culinary uses:

Ginger has become an international herb. Used in Asia,
Americas, Europe, but not too often in Australia.

It enhances beverages, fruits, meats, poultry, fish,
preserves and all kinds of vegetables. Ginger is good combin-
ed with onions and garlic.

Itis available commercially either fresh, dried, ground or in
dried pieces. To store fresh ginger refrigerated, wrap the root
first in a paper towel, then tightly wrapped in plastic. It will
stay fresh for up to six months.

An ancient Greek named Hippocrates was the first her-
balist to establish a ‘healing profession’’, moving away from
mysticism and religion. In contrast to former ancient her-
balists he believed in the principle ‘the important thing is to
do no harm",

Many contemporary scholars accepted his famous oath and
consequently there developed deep humanitarian concerns
among the Greek physicians of that time (about 400 B.C.)
Thus, Hippocrates was from then on the father of medicine.

Hippocrates believed four elements — fire, water, carth
and air — were represented in the human body by yellow bile,
phlegm, black bile, and blood. He believed sickness resulted
if the balance of the four became upset. He suggested using
parsley, thyme, fennel and celery to increase the flow of urine
and so rid the body of harmful substances.

His famous writings contain 300 to 400 healing plants.
