About Japanese ginger
Japanese Ginger, known as myoga, is a flavorful and aromatic plant native to East Asia, commonly used in Japanese cuisine. Unlike traditional ginger, myoga features edible young buds and shoots with a mildly spicy, slightly sweet taste that complements soups, salads, sushi, and pickled dishes. Rich in fiber, myoga supports digestive health and contains antioxidants such as gingerol, which may help combat inflammation and boost immunity. It's also low in calories, making it a light and healthy addition to meals. The plant is prized for its refreshing, subtle flavor and is often used raw as a garnish or lightly cooked to enhance its delicate profile. However, due to its strong diuretic properties, excessive consumption may cause dehydration in sensitive individuals. Myoga offers culinary versatility while providing a unique nutrient profile that celebrates both the health-conscious and flavor-seeking aspects of Japanese cuisine.
