February 6, 2024

Pickled Ginger is a very famous appetizer in Chinese cuisine. Although we often see ginger in our daily lives, older generations say that ginger is very good for our bodies. Can pickled ginger regulate gastrointestinal function and improve immunity? Let's introduce the method of pickling ginger.


【Ingredients】

Ginger, salt, star anise, Sichuan peppercorn, cloves, cinnamon, water.

【Instructions】

1. Prepare the above ingredients.

2. Wash the ginger and let it dry.

3. Boil all the seasonings with water, then let it cool.

4. Pour the cooled seasoning water into a container and cover it with plastic wrap.

5. Close the lid and place it in a cool place to pickle for more than a week.

【Notes】

"People can eat whatever they want, but they can't say whatever they want." Although this saying is widely spread, it doesn't apply to all kinds of food. Although ginger has many benefits, not everyone can consume it. Let's see who should avoid eating ginger.

Generally, most people can eat ginger, and it is especially suitable for diabetics, people with edema, and those with difficulty urinating.

However, ginger can cause internal heat, so it is not recommended for people with a warm constitution or those who are prone to constipation. Additionally, people with itchy skin conditions or eye diseases should eat ginger in moderation or avoid it.

Lastly, although pregnant women can eat ginger, it is not recommended because ginger can easily cause internal heat. If pregnant women want to consume ginger, they should do so in moderation.
