	A ginger plant

	== Disambiguation page eliminated ==

	I've removed the disambiguation page which was previously ] and moved ] to ]. The old disambig page is reproduced below:

	{{Talk:Ginger/Disambig}}
	</div>

	Reason for getting rid of this page: It did not comply with ]; the listed entries, with the exception of the Segway codename, were not actually disambiguating anything (did not point to relevant Misplaced Pages articles on the subjects in question). The Segway codename is not relevant enough to justify a disambig page, which is particularly true since the vast majority of the links to ] refer to the plant.--]] 04:15, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

	== native to? ==

	Does anyone know where ginger is native to?

	== How do you grow ginger? ==


	Does anyone know how to grow ginger?
	Is it as simple as sticking a piece of ginger into the ground?
	Is there a special time of the year when this should be done?
	Is watering necessary?
	Should the piece of ground where ginger is planted be exposed to the sun?
	Any hints on growing ginger would be appreciated.
	Thanks.


	== Will ginger cause scarring? ==
	Some Chinese herbal doctors believe that consuming ginger after an injury will accelerate the healing of the wounds. The fast healing have an undesirable side effect of forming a fiberous protrusion that looks like a smooth scar. I wonder if there are clinical studies of this effect. ] 23:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

	== Powdered ginger vs root ginger ==
	The comment:

	"Powdered dry ginger is used to add spiciness to gingerbread and other recipes. It tastes quite different from fresh ginger, and neither can be substituted for the other."

	is inaccurate. I know this because I've just made gingerbread using root ginger and it came out quite well. I've modified the paragraph.
