PINNER CREEK ORGANICS "From the heart and soil of the Big Island" Home of the world's finest certified organic yellow & white ginger, kava-kava (awa) & turmeric Email Home Ginger Kava(awa) TurmericAbout us Monthly Specials Order Form Hawaiian Organic Yellow Ginger In Hawaii and Japan, yellow ginger is known for it's superior potency and full-bodied flavor. Gourmet chefs, health food stores and juice-makers largly prefer yellow ginger. The organic ginger farming community in Hawaii has taken on the task of preserving this rare but treasured cultivar. To date, yellow ginger is only found in select organic distribution channels. Hopefully, more production will lead to greater availability. Yellow ginger is consumed by most as "baby ginger"or mature ginger. What is Baby Ginger? "Baby ginger" is harvested after only 4-6 months of growth. This delicacy is ONLY available from July - November. When harvested this young, it has no well-formed outer skin and appears white & pink. It is approximately 1/3 the size and weight of fully matured ginger. The flesh is tender, zesty and succulent with very little fiber. It is eminently edible in a variety of excellent ways. The pretty pink color fades quite rapidly, usually in 3-7 days. The milder flavor without the "bite" or hairy fibers of mature ginger make it the ginger of choice in our kitchen. We use young ginger almost exclusively because you can consume it freely! Young ginger is most perishable and if refrigerated, place it in a paper towel to retain it's fresh flavor. Common Uses: young ginger pickles - these thinly sliced delicacies are found in ALL sushi restaurants sauteed veggies - sauteed young ginger absorbs other flavors and is readily eaten. smoothies - 2-3 1/8" slices will "energize" your favorite fruit combination. stuffing - fish or game is greatly enhanced by some finely diced young ginger in the stuffing Even a bland boring block of tofu can become a nutritious, delicious, low-cal lunch with 3 tablespoons of grated ginger and a little soy sauce. Mature Yellow Ginger Mature ginger is harvested between 8-15 months of age: December - June. As the ginger matures, the outer skin thickens to a light brown color. The fiber content, weight and size increases markely as the ginger ages. By January, full maturity is achieved. This is the "hottest" form of ginger ideal for enhancing stir frys, sauces and making ginger powder. Storage Tips: When kept in a dry, well-ventilated, cool, dimly-lit place mature ginger will last a very long time. Pinner Creek Organics has kept it over 10 months on a drying rack between 50-60 degrees. No direct sunlight. It needs to breath - no plastic! Mature ginger may also be frozen and pieces sliced off the frozen hand as needed. It will last years this way. Ginger is a rhizome which will sprout new plants. Some shriveling may occur after a long period. Mildew may form on trimmed areas.Simply trim the shoots, mildew or shrivelled parts and use the rest. If you slice it and it is juicy, aromatic and smells like ginger, it is GOOD.
