'''Ginger - delicious, versatile, good for health''' | |||

It seems impossible to imagine nowadays, but I didn't taste fresh ginger until I was in my late teens; it simply wasn't part of our family's culinary lexicon. | |||
But don't feel too sorry for me; I've spent the rest of my life making up for it. Fresh, pickled, crystallized, powdered, preserved, dried - I consume it in mad quantities, and I still feel as if I can't get enough. | |||
I vividly recall the first time I had pickled ginger, that small mound that comes with sushi. It was one of a small number of "Whoa!" culinary milestones so different from what had come before them that they could be called an epiphany. And it was free, at the sushi bar, and you could have as much as you wanted. | |||
After that, I started to notice fat bags of pickled ginger for sale at Japanese and Chinese markets around town, for just a few dollars. I began chowing down on it at home as a snack, with dinner, with all kinds of meals. But one casual glance at the ingredient list on the bag produced another epiphany of sorts. Ginger, white sugar, white vinegar, red dye - surely I could make pickled ginger at home, using better ingredients? | |||
Yes, I could make homemade pickled ginger with high-quality ingredients - young, lithe gingerroot, excellent vinegars and sweeteners such as artisanal honeys or organic maple syrup and agave nectar. | |||
