Compared with old ginger, young ginger is definitely better. Young ginger is also called tender ginger by many people. The taste of young ginger itself is more crisp, and there is more juice in it. The spicy taste in the mouth is also endless. However, the old ginger is relatively old, and it will be particularly firewood, and the taste is not particularly fragrant, and the taste is relatively poor.

What is the difference between young ginger and old ginger?

0 1, young ginger with different maturity actually belongs to a kind of ginger, and this kind of ginger has tender buds. Under normal circumstances, it can be harvested from September to1October every year. But old ginger is different. Old ginger is also called dried ginger, which is usually picked in winter. This kind of ginger belongs to the kind that is already ripe, and its maturity will be higher. After picking, it will be dried in the sun and then sold in the second year, so most of this kind of ginger is ginger in the next year.

02. There is a big difference in taste. Because the ginger is tender, the water inside is also very abundant, and the spicy taste is lighter, and the taste in the mouth is crisp and tender. This kind of ginger can not only be eaten raw, but also be used for cooking. However, the spicy taste of old ginger is relatively sufficient, and the gingerol contained in it is also relatively rich, so the spicy taste in the mouth is more intense.

03, the effect is different. Ginger is generally suitable for people who are hot and dry. It can be used not only for dishes, but also for vinegar or raw food. However, old ginger is usually suitable for those who are weak and cold because of its heat. For example, if we catch a cold at ordinary times, we can use old ginger to boil sugar water.

04, the nutritional value is not the same. Although the taste of tender ginger is better, the nutritional value is really not as good as that of old ginger. After all, the old ginger grows longer, so there are more nutrients in it.
