Many people know ginger for its distinct flavor. Did you know that those crystallized ginger chunks pack more than just flavor? I grab one when my stomach is upset.

In Korean cooking, ginger (saenggang) is often used alongside garlic when making kimchi or marinades. Kimchi is a popular pickled dish, of which there are roughly 200 varieties, but all will contain ginger and garlic.

Koreans also use ginger to make tea!
