i need more ginger. this week seems to be a bad week for ginger. my cousin's farm, maggiesgarden.co.il, had their ginger get frozen by accident and go bad, and the ginger at the grocery store was all moldy! :(
I don't think bar kol sells ginger. I'll have to wait until I am in a big supermarket to get it. Do gingersnaps really give you the power of ginger if they only have a t of ginger in them? I always wondered about that.
they don't? that's silly. does mega/whatever store is in ramat ilan sell it? hm. what about petrozelia in g.s.? i think they used to do deliveries, and they have a phone number somewhere, might be worth looking into. re gingersnaps, i would think it does, but the larger the dose, the stronger the effect. however, ginger is usually considered pretty strong, you dont need a lot of it to work. and, you know, you can always put in extra ginger :) its like with garlic: you can never have too much cooked garlic in a recipe. (and now i want gingersnaps. yum) also, dried herbs dont always act the same as fresh, but it may not matter for ginger, or for certain qualities. when there is a difference, i usually get told, for instance, that it needs to be given to a patient as a dry extract. or as a tincture. or as a tea. i dont recall special instructions for ginger. my question is why do hospitals still serve ginger ale when most are no longer made with real ginger. (real ginger ale is one of my planned projects)
I am officially buying some fresh ginger and making tea for my husband who has a cold thing - he has allergies, colds in the winter, and a deviated septum, so anything to boost his immune system and help clear him up is great! I am also tempted to feed him breastmilk, but I don't think he wants it :P
you could combine all sorts of immune boosting herbs in one tea, too. chamomile is great, as is garlic. Thyme is good for congestion and coughs, (i could go on....)
absolutely fine :) i like buying in bulk because its fun, and i can use more of it, and its fresher. but you can always use more than one teabag per cup of tea, too.
