Have you ever tried fresh young ginger (Zingiber officinale) - also known as spring ginger or baby ginger? Compared to the mature ginger found in supermarkets, young ginger has light cream-coloured flesh, almost translucent skin and pink tips. Unlike pungent, spicy mature ginger, the young root is mild, tender and juicy. Its firm texture slices easily - a stark contrast to the tough, fibrous nature of old ginger.

Buy fresh young ginger root

This young, fresh ginger is essential for making pickled ginger (simply marinated in a rice vinegar mixture), and you can even eat raw when thinly sliced. It works extremely well with fish, chicken and Asian salads. Garnish sushi, canapés or a stir fry with either sliced or grated young ginger for a fresh, clean spice.

This perishable ginger emerges about six months after planting, making it a seasonal treat. Grown by our Dutch partners, this young ginger is supplied with part of the stem attached to increase shelf life.

Available in 250g, 500g & 1kg

Want to know how to make sushi ginger using fresh ginger?  Akemi Yokoyama from Gohan London show us how:

In Japanese cooking, fresh myoga ginger is usually served thinly sliced as a garnish, particularly with sashimi, adding a fresh and mild ginger flavour.

Fresh slices also work very well in miso soup, or tossed into spring salads.

Myoga pickle is easily made with vinegar, salt and sugar.

If you still have myoga to spare, then slice in half and fry with butter, or deep fry in tempura batter.

Wonderful!

Wonderful! Just try it, there's no going back to dried out old roots!

Thank you! Yes, the fresh ginger is wonderful isn't it - wish we could have a supply all year round!

Quick delivery

Very quick delivery and well wrapped as always.
The young ginger is amazing.
Such light, fresh sparky flavour.
I'm surprised I've never had it before.
I haven't had the dried persimmon yet but have had them before and they're delicious

Thanks Herbie, great to hear you like the fresh ginger - it's so different to 'normal' ginger isn't it? A huge favourite here at Wasabi HQ :)

Fresh ginger a revelation

Excellent flavour and texture, wish it were more regularly available.

Thanks David, we too wish we could eat fresh ginger all year round and if we find a way to do so, we'll let you know!
