In addition to carbohydrates and proteins, ginger also contains gingerols [gingerol, zingerone, shogaol and gingerol]. Because it contains a special aroma, it can be used as a spicy condiment. . It can also be processed into dried ginger, candied ginger slices, salted ginger slices, ginger powder, ginger juice, ginger wine and candied and pickled ginger. In addition, it can also be used as spices and medicinal materials. Ginger has the functions of strengthening the stomach, dehumidifying, and dispelling cold, and is a good juice-forming and detoxifying agent in medicine.

Characteristics: Ginger does not propagate through seeds, but uses ginger pieces for vegetative propagation, so it has no taproot and is a shallow-rooted crop. After the concubine is planted, several adventitious roots will appear from the stems of the young shoots, and several small lateral roots will appear on them. After entering the vigorous growth period, several fleshy roots can also grow from the concubine and Zijiang. These fleshy roots also have a certain absorptive capacity. Ginger requires deep and fertile soil, rich in organic matter, good ventilation and easy drainage. Cultivated in sandy soil, ginger sprouts quickly, retains water and fertility, has low organic matter content, and low yield. However, the ginger produced is smooth and beautiful, with low water content, coarse texture and spicy taste, and the drying rate of ginger is high. Clay soil has strong water and fertility retention, high organic matter content, fertile soil, and high yield. However, it has high water content, is tender in texture, has a light taste, and has a low drying rate of ginger. The concubine likes slightly acidic soil, preferably in the range of pH5--pH7. Ginger is a shallow-rooted plant and does not have strong water absorption capacity. It cannot fully utilize the deep water in the soil and needs to keep the soil moist at all times. Ginger's requirement for fertilizers is potassium fertilizer, followed by nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer.

Varieties: Although ginger is widely distributed in my country, its varieties are not as many as other vegetables because they are all reproduced asexually. Famous ginger varieties across the country include Guangzhou's Shulun large-fleshed ginger, Milun fine-fleshed ginger, Hubei's Zaoyang ginger, Guizhou's Zunyi white ginger, Yunnan's Yuxi's yellow, Shaanxi's Hanzhong's turmeric, Sichuan's Jianwei ginger and Northeast's Dandong ginger. .

Turmeric, whose scientific name is Dioscorea scutellariae and commonly known as fire root and pink turmeric, belongs to the Dioscoreaceae family and is a perennial herbaceous twining vine. Its active ingredient is that the rhizome is rich in saponin (saponin), which is the starting material for the synthesis of steroid hormone drugs. The above-mentioned special medicines prepared from turmeric as raw materials have currently no other raw materials that can replace them when the International Health Organization bans chemically synthesized steroid hormones. Turmeric is produced in China and Mexico. China's main production areas are in the Qinba Mountains, while the southwest is the best growing area for turmeric. Especially the turmeric in southwest Sichuan has the highest grade, with a crude drug content of more than 3.5%. Turmeric is native to tropical areas such as China and Southeast Asia. The earliest records come from Assyria in West Asia before 600 AD. In the Middle Ages, it was called Indian saffron in Europe because the ginger could also be used as a dye. It has been cultivated in China since ancient times and is widely distributed in the country. In addition to cold regions such as the northeast and northwest, it is cultivated in most parts of the central and southern regions. It is an upright perennial with erect leaves and ornamental inflorescences. Narrow, branched underground rhizomes orange. It is generally cultivated as a spice.

Usage of turmeric: The rhizome is peeled and ground and combined with other spices including cloves, coriander seeds, cumin, ginger, chili and cinnamon to form curry powder. Turmeric is also used to add color when cooking glutinous rice. It is made into turmeric rice in water and is eaten by Malays during festivals. European food processing plants also use turmeric as a dye for some foods. Dienolone can also be synthesized by extracting fresh turmeric saponin ligands.

The wonderful uses of turmeric: Ginger commonly used in cooking includes new ginger, turmeric, old ginger and watered ginger. New ginger has thin skin, tender flesh, and a light taste; turmeric has a spicy smell that changes from light to strong, and the meat changes from soft to firm, making it the top grade of ginger; old ginger, also known as mother ginger, is the ginger species, and has thick, firm flesh and a spicy taste, but The aroma is not as good as that of turmeric; when you pour ginger, it has ginger buds attached and can be used as a garnish for dishes or pickled in sauce, and it is very delicious.

The development prospects of turmeric: Saponin is the starting material of steroid hormone drugs. In the past, due to the shortage of turmeric raw materials, substitutes were used for many hormone drugs.

In 1992, the United Nations Health Organization announced that the use of substitutes was prohibited, and only saponin-based synthetic steroid hormone drugs could be produced mainly from turmeric raw materials. Turmeric raw materials have become a product in short supply in the international market, and the contradiction between supply and demand is very prominent. The annual consumption of saponin in the world is about 2,800 tons, and that in my country is about 1,000 tons. my country's current saponin production capacity is about 900 tons, the annual export volume is 200 tons, and the domestic supply and demand gap is 300 tons. In recent years, the demand for saponin has increased at an annual rate of 6-7%. In the late 1980s, the price of saponin was 180,000 yuan per ton, and in the late 1990s, the price per ton of saponin reached 400,000 to 450,000 yuan.
