Origin & Lore

Ginger is the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, native to tropical Asia and traded westward from ancient times. It has been a staple in Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian cooking for thousands of years, and in medieval Europe it was one of the most common spices after pepper.

The Analects of Confucius record that he was never without ginger when he ate.

Ginger reached Europe along Roman and Arab trade routes and was one of the most traded spices of the Middle Ages. Gingerbread became a festive bake across Europe, and Elizabeth I is credited with having gingerbread figures made in the likeness of her guests.
