Ginger, I believe everyone knows it, it can not only remove the fishy smell, but also can be made into pickles or dessert snacks, and even many health people like to stick a few slices of ginger on the soles of their feet to remove dampness, etc., which is a part of our daily life. An indispensable ingredient. Since ancient times, Chinese folk have said that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, no need for a doctor to prescribe a prescription", "eat ginger and ginseng in summer" and so on, which shows the importance of ginger to our health in summer.
There are mainly three kinds of common ginger on the market, namely young ginger, new ginger , old ginger. Although these three kinds of ginger are all ginger, there are obvious differences in appearance, taste and usage. And now is the time when a large number of young gingers are on the market, Lei Baolai told everyone about the difference between the three, friends, don't be unaware, beware that eating the wrong ginger will hurt your body.
1. Differences in appearance
young ginger, is tender ginger, ginger sprout , is the period when the ginger is not yet mature, generally refers to the individual ginger that is not yet mature, generally harvested after 4 months of planting.Its fiber is thin, the appearance color is light yellow, it looks very tender, the skin is also very smooth delicate, the tip is red;
new ginger, is what we call ginger every day Now, compared to the ginger, it is most obvious that has no red buds, and the color looks darker, showing a clear yellow, the surface is also smooth, pick it up and smell it lightly on the tip of the nose, it can smell stronger and more intense than the ginger. Obvious smell;
old ginger , also known as ginger seed, ginger mother, is ginger harvested after the beginning of autumn, the skin is rough, thick and wrinkled, the color is darker, not bright, and the aroma is not as good as new Strong ginger. Even, old ginger is usually called dried ginger. It is usually excavated in winter, removes fibrous roots and sediment, and then sells it the next year after drying or drying at low temperature. Therefore, most of the old ginger is ginger of the next year.
The difference in taste
Young ginger: more water, less fiber, less spicy taste, especially crisp and tender, no residue left in the mouth after eating;
New ginger: Compared with young ginger, the fiber is obviously more, and the spicy taste is more Heavy, the taste is relatively crisp and tender, and there will be slag in the mouth after eating;
Old ginger: less water, strong smell, full of spicy taste, obvious tissue fibers can be seen after being flattened, difficult to chew, basically do not eat
Use The difference
sub ginger , the spicy taste is relatively mild, can be eaten directly, or pickled, suitable for groups with a hot body constitution; at the same time, because its light taste will not affect the taste of other ingredients, it is also more suitable for cold salad or Stir-fry, etc.; therefore, common delicious practices such as sweet and sour ginger, sushi ginger, roast duck with ginger, stir-fried beef with ginger, fried shredded pork with ginger, etc.; The spicy taste is heavier than that of ginger, and the smell will not disappear easily after pickling. It is used to remove fishy, stir-fry or stew, so it is often used as a side dish or seasoning for cooking;
As the saying goes, "Ginger is still Old spicy", old ginger is rich in gingerol , so it has a strong taste and full of spicy taste, suitable for people with physical deficiency. Before cooking, in order to better taste it, it will be cut into pieces or slices, and then patted with the back of a knife to make it crack and overflow with more ginger flavor. And because of the strong taste of old ginger, it is generally used in fire dishes, such as stewing, stewing, simmering, burning, boiling, grilling and other more complicated cooking methods. After cooking, it is generally not eaten but taken out. discard. In addition, many women drink red dates ginger candy, it is also best to use old ginger.
The above three kinds of ginger have similarities and differences , remember to choose as needed when purchasing! Secondly, although ginger is good for the human body, it should be noted that the best time to eat it is in the morning, and be careful not to overdo it. A few slices are good, and avoiding too much is counterproductive. Finally, let's talk about how to choose? I have seen media reports that individual black-hearted merchants smoked ginger with sulfur to make them look more attractive. After all, ginger is used for the entrance, what we can do is to master the selection skills and avoid potential risks. How to choose
?
The selection of young ginger is relatively simple, the color is white, the skin is smooth, and there is no rot and damage;
The selection of new or old ginger is relatively complicated. When choosing, pay attention to "one look, two smells, three pinch and four releases"!
1. See the exterior. If the skin is too clean and smooth, or the skin is damaged or has mildew spots, this kind of ginger is not recommended to buy; secondly, it is not recommended to buy ginger if it has sprouted, although it will not affect the consumption, but the nutrition will be greatly reduced;
2, smell the taste. normal ginger has its own natural spicy taste, but if it smells peculiar or has no taste, do not buy ;
3, pinch the meat. Good ginger is firm and firm, neither soft nor collapsed, otherwise don’t buy it;
