One of the most popular herbs around the world, Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an intricate part of Sri Lanka cuisine and traditional medicine. Aromatic, pungent and hot with hints of sweetness and zest, ginger grown in Sri Lanka belongs to three varieties;
Mostly used in its fresh form in Sri Lankan cuisines and herbal medicine, ginger is also available as dried ginger powder, pickled fresh ginger, salted ginger, and ginger jaggery. Moreover, fresh ginger is also used in manufacturing gingelly oil and oleoresins, which are widely used in the food and confectionery industry, perfumery industry, and in manufacturing Ayurveda medicine.
The characteristic fragrance and flavour of ginger result from volatile oils primarily consisting of zingerone, shogaols, and gingerols. The presence of a higher amount of [6]-gingerol (1-[4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-3-decanone in Sri Lanka ginger variety is believed to give it the characteristic strong aroma and flavour.
Ginger has long proven to have a curing effect on nausea and has been recently found to have strong anti-diabetic effects by lowering blood sugar. The herb is also a home remedy for indigestions used mostly in Asia.
Cultivation of ginger in Sri Lanka is governed by small and mid-scale farmers with large home gardens and mixed crop plantations, where ginger is grown as an intercrop with coconut, and other fruits. Today, the country has nearly 1900 hectares of ginger cultivation. And Sri Lankan ginger farmers produce an annual turnover of nearly 14,000 tons of which a considerable proportion is used in local industries including food and beverage, Ayurveda and cosmetics.
