Ginger is the underground rhizome of the ginger plant with a firm, striated texture. The flesh of the ginger rhizome can be yellow, white or red in color, depending upon the variety.
It is covered with a brownish skin that may either be thick or thin, depending upon whether the plant was harvested when it was mature or young
