Ehhhhh.
Ginger is a tuber that is consumed whole as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale. It lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Other notable members of this plant family are turmeric, cardamom, and galangal.

Ginger cultivation began in Asia and has since spread to West Africa and the Caribbean. It is sometimes called root ginger to distinguish it from other things that share the name ginger.

...it's gonna be a long week.

(For the sake of vaguely attempting to be on-topic: I like redheads, dated one for a while, she was mental, collars and cuffs matched, boring non-story is boring. Oh, and my hair once went a bit ginger when I lost a bet and had to bleach it.)
