Today, ginger is easily accessible in our local grocery stores but can you imagine that back in the 14th century the value of a pound of ginger (500 grams) would be equivalent to the cost of a sheep? 

Ginger is relative to the cardamom and turmeric plants and it has been used in Asian cuisine since around 3000 B.C. Since old times, ginger has been greatly cherished by Ayurveda practitioners. Due to its warming qualities, ginger is believed to reduce dampness in the body or else balance the water element in our bodies.
