NON GMO fresh ginger from Peru (10)

I ordered the ginger and I was expecting the worse because of some of the reviews about receiving spoiled or molded ginger. I rolled the dice and ordered it anyway. To my surprise, it turned out better than expected. This ginger arrived fresh and looked as if it had been picked right out of the ground. I washed two or three rhizomes and used them to make a ginger drink. It was STRONG and good. I added cinnamon and vanilla for flavor. It was AWESOME! The remaining rhizomes, I planted and they began to sprout and grow almost immediately. Come September, I plan to have a seasons worth of ginger to freeze and use until next year. This was a great purchase.

This ginger is soft rotten and molded! What a disappointment! Do not purchase!

Imagine my joy when I found ginger on Amazon cheaper than the non-organic ginger at my local health food store. The ginger came in a UPS envelope. My ginger did not have mold like some of the reviews complained about, very happy! I weighed the ginger and I received I almost exactly (just under) two pounds.UPDATE:I chopped up the ginger for ginger bug. It has a bright yellow color and fresh sharp smell! I am so happy with this purchase, I will be buying more in the future! If I am ever unhappy with the product I will update this review.Pros:-Great price-Fast delivery-Delicious smell!Cons:-Poor quality control, (some reviews complain of mold)If this review helped you make an informed purchase please mark it as helpful♡

I read the reviews before ordering, and the last review I saw where mold was an issue was a year ago, so I ordered 10lbs. The ginger I received came fast(shipped immediately), was in very good condition, not wet, or soft. I only gave it 4 stars, because it was not 5-star ginger, however, if possible, I would give it 4.5 stars. I will absolutely order again. When you order, I strongly recommend going over every single piece, because if there is any mold, and you don't get it out before storing, it will gradually spread to other pieces. I've had this product for about two weeks now, stored in Glad gallon size zipper lock freezer bags, and stored in my refrigerator. If it comes damp or wet on the out side, it needs to be dried off before storing to prevent any chance of mold growth. After a few days, the moisture inside the ginger began slowly evaporate and collect on the inside of the bags, however, this has been minimal, and has not resulted in any mold growth as of this time. The flavor is very potent compared to GMO grocery store bought ginger, has less juice inside(see picture of grated product above), thinner edible skins(for the most part), and most was pretty decent size for organic ginger. Overall, I'm very happy, and will order another 10lbs when this is gone. I primarily use it to grate up for ginger tea with raw honey, and the flavor is spectacular. Really good burn going down, but once it's in you, it will settle your stomach, and give you a nice relaxed warm feeling. I haven't cooked with it yet, but I would not for the most part, hesitate to cook it with the thinner skins on(honestly, peeling a bunch of it would be time consuming, and somewhat difficult because of the shape & size). I will update this review if any future orders come with any significant amount of mold, as sending something like that out to a paying customer needs to be mentioned for the sake of others. I will also at some point, attempt to grow some of this indoors(I've never growth ginger before), and if I get good results, I'll update my review with photos of the product.

This ginger is mediocre at best. I purchased 2 lbs. When it arrived about 20% was shriveled and not really usable. If this ginger was organic then it would have sprouted. I planted a few of the more plump pieces, about 3-6" clumps, in a mixture of equal parts top grade organic potting soil/composted cow manure/organic vermiculite in large well draining food grade plastic buckets. Placed on my deck in full sun, the soil was kept moist, the tubers were covered with 1/2-1" of the soil. Half the tubers I soaked in filtered water overnight before planting. That was 4wks ago. Now the tubers are just starting to decompose, not a sprouting eye in sight. Also, 2wks ago I put a few tubers in filtered water on the sunny windowsill to see if any sprouting would occur. The water was changed daily. No sprouting. The tubers have started to rot. How can these possibly be organic?UPDATE 10/4/21: On July 15,2021 I repeated the same planting procedure described above that been done at the beginning of June. This time about 3/4 of the planted roots sprouted and grew a little. One root, despite it's beautiful 4" foliage, was too mushy and moldy to eat. After doing some homework related to growing ginger I have to conclude that the first crop failure and less than satisfactory second crop failure has more to do with the fact that I live in a Region 4-5 area than with the ginger not being organic. This Ginger appears to be organic and not irradiated but needs Regions 8-10 to successfully sprout, grow, and thrive. Thus rating changed from 1 star to 4 stars. Minus 1 star due to many of the shrivelled pieces originally received. Will buy from again.

Product was rotting and molded. I opened my ginger right away when I received it and the smell that came out of the package was pungent. The ginger was soft, seeping, and starting to mold.

I can't be without fresh ginger- I use it every day for sauces, dressings, teas, and drinks. Unfortunately, the ginger available at the local market is shriveled and almost never organic, so I started ordering fresh ginger and turmeric online. This is very nice ginger, it shipped quick and arrived plump and lovely. I would order this ginger again. Five stars.

This is absolutely the best ginger I've ever eaten in my life.I've been eating ginger for a while but I started getting concerned about it coming from China and contaminants excetera excetera. so I found this ginger on Amazon ordered it and have been blown away by its wonderful delicious flavor and super potency.I highly recommended great product great seller!
