Did you know?
A rhizome related to ginger but woodier and more resinous, tasting of pine and pepper. It replaces ginger in Thai tom yum and Indonesian curry pastes, and is sliced rather than grated before cooking.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
