With a plot we defined: bright, Sunny but not direct sunlight, warm, protected from winds and rains.

In our harsh climatic conditions ginger dug at the end of August. At this stage, the crop may not please You, so many transplanted ginger in tubs or large pots and grown in a warm house until spring.
Somewhere in February this transplanted ginger will drop leaves and will remain at rest. Thus it is necessary to maintain the temperature not exceeding 16 °C.

Edible parts are the young sprouts of ginger, like a pencil. In taste they resemble a Mandarin with a tangy tinge.
Varieties of ginger as early as the 15th century, ginger is not grown in the wild and carefully cultivated. Breeders are trying to make its roots more juicier and tastier. There are many varieties of ginger, differing in color of pulp: it can be bright, greenish, brownish or yellowish with blue specks. The smell can also vary — buy citrus or grassy notes, or even to give kerosene. However, the sharp taste practically the same for all varieties. However, the whole ginger processing method is divided into two commercial varieties that differ in taste.
1. Black ginger (Barbados) - to obtain raw materials, it is sufficient to pour boiling water over rhizomes, with the peel. This ginger is very pronounced, sharp, pungent taste.
2. White ginger (Bengali) - to get the roots clean with a brush and kept in 2% sulphurous acid. The rhizomes of this form have a less pungent taste and aroma.
