Ginger is a type of tropical plant. It is typically used in a variety of cuisines around the world. It can also be used to add color and flair to gardens and landscapes. The most common type of ginger used in cooking today is Zingiber officinale.

As a root plant ginger can reach up to 4 feet high, with a stalk containing clusters of small, yellow flowers. When eaten, ginger has a spicy taste--though this dulls as the plant ages. Young ginger plants are typically moist and fleshy, and become drier and more fibrous as they age.

It is a commonly used ingredient for baking, and is used regularly in cookies, cakes, pies, and other desserts. This plant can also be used as a complementary spice to meats, fish, or even pasta dishes.
