NONE GMO fresh ginger from Peru (5)

It is OK not the best. Some area were dry and very small. Too expensive in my opinion.

I will order again! Well worth the price

Fresh. Firm. Way more than i can use so i am fermenting it for long term storage.

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.

Use it every morning to make tea and lots in cooking too. Some pieces have a few bless but otherwise very fresh and tasty. The packaging could be better but it did get here fresh.

Good quality, I have stores in freeze and it’s still fresh and good to use after one month of purchase

Edit: the owner contacted me and reshaped a new batch. While it wasn’t young like the fire batch, the last one did not have mold nor was soggy. I definitely prefer the first order I received a few times ago. However, this “fix” from there mistake as a good fix and they deserve credit for good customer service.************ original post ***********This is my second order. The first batch was perfect. Nice flavor, excellent quality. This batch, not so much. All of these are moldy and the bottom layer has slime. Very disappointed. I understand there are shipping issues right now from overseas, but it is better to not sale a bad product than to sell a bad product and these are very, very bad.If he was looking for repeat business -- which I buy often, I want honesty and quality. I would rather be told they are not good than to be sold a box of mold.... which I am allergic to.

Very happy with this ginger. Will purchase again.
