Ginger
Ginger has long been revered for its taste as well as its medicinal uses. Ginger is believed to prevent the symptoms of motion sickness, while being safe enough for pregnant women to consume, inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells and contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce pain levels and improve movement in arthritis patients. Keep fresh, unpeeled ginger in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or store it in the freezer for up to six months. Whether ginger is ground or fresh gingerroot, this popular seasoning proves that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor when you’re eating right. Add a little zest to everyday fare by giving ginger a try.
