New Ginger ― 2009/10/01
We say that if you eat the first supply of something seasonable (such as fish, fruits, but never potato crisps), you will live 75 days longer (per item).
New gingers are available from the middle of June. But for me this new ginger is not for eating. As in this period the ginger is quite thin, as thin as a pencil. So June ginger seems more an ornament than a spice. Although many people appreciate freshness of the ginger in early summer, I just don’t think it is cost-effective to buy such a small amount at a good price. I might have missed a chance to live a bit longer, though.
The very beginning of October, ginger still tastes “newer”, juicier and softer with milder tanginess, than ordinary brown-ish gingers.
