Ginger Planting and Harvest

The Ginger Root Project

Why Ginger? Ginger has many different benefits and uses; mostly used in cooking for the Nepali typical dish “Dahl Bhaat”. The Nepalese have this meal at least once a day, but usually twice. This delicious dish is much more extravagant then it sounds and ginger is a key ingredient in Dahl Bhaat as well as just about any Nepali dish.

Ginger also has many health benefits and is an aid for nausea, motion sickness and digestion. Once the root is planted it takes about eleven months to grow and it is harvested once a year. The women of the village had a wonderful time participating in the planting and harvesting of ginger and they are looking forward to participating in this project again.
