dc.description.abstract	Dry ginger is produced from the green underground rhizomes of the plant Zingiber officinale. It is prepared by peeling off the outer skin and drying in the sun for about a week. The dry ginger so prepared is known as "unbleached ginger". Bleached ginger is produced by steeping in a solution of milk of lime and then drying. Besides India, ginger is also grown in Jamaica, Nigeria, China, Sperra Leone and Thailand. In India, ginger is predominantly grown in Kerala, North East, West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh.	en_US
