MARY ANN! /sarcasm
My first thought as well.
Love redheads ;-)
“...antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting characteristics, primarily due to its phenolic compounds, gingerol and shogaol...”
~~~
I often wonder how much all these compounds hold up to cooking. A lot of studies, or at least their articles, don’t really clarify if they are studied in raw form, or cooked.
Totally, Maryann all the way.
Mary Ann is more my type...
From the article:
*** When it comes to the type of ginger, Vuppuluri recommends the raw ingredient because it’s the most potent, leading to maximum antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.***
A long, long time ago, I would use Ginger Ale recovering from an illness that included nausea. Once I no longer would vomit with any intake, the Ginger Ale was a great way to settle an unhappy stomach. About 20 years ago, I decided, why not drink it when healthy. We now have raw ginger and one of those charge water systems, so we make our own.
The only woman that could make cream with no eggs or dairy.
“it may calm nausea from motion sickness,”
A few years ago, the Myth Busters guys conducted experiments on the best way to combat nausea from motion sickness — auto, sea sickness, roller coasters, etc. Ginger was the clear winner. Nothing else was even close.
I take ginger capsules with me when I cruise in case of sea sickness. Have never needed them, but they’re there if necessary.
Growing up, if you opened the fridge and saw ginger ale, you knew someone was sick.
Is ginger in the spice isle of the grocery store the raw ginger?
That is not sarcasm. But tell all your friends. Better them than us.
Seasickness can be cured by taking a ginger pill.
confirmed
Both Adam and Grant made it through their spin-chair sessions without feeling ill. ~
Seasickness can be cured by using a placebo, like a vitamin or a sugar pill.
plausible
While Adam didn’t fall for it, Grant was successfully tricked into thinking he had taken a store-bought sea-sickness medication and did not throw up. Unfortunately, by falling for the placebo all his test results had to be thrown out on the grounds of psychosomatic influence.
LOLOLOL my first thought as well.
I hate sushi but had some with my daughter...and the rest of the family. The plate came, I grab something with my fingers and ate a bunch of it and about spit it out. My daughter laughed and said that was ginger, you don’t eat it that way... So much for my cultured life. Went to an Italian restaurant and the wife ordered polenta and I was asked if I’d like the same. I said I’m not eating placenta... another head shaking from the wife. I said it sounds close enough.
I’m a meat and potatoes, van,choc,straw ice cream and black coffee kind of guy. Having eaten local foods around the world is probably why. Even did balut on a bet in the Philippines... alcohol was involved.
Geez I’ve always been a Mary Ann guy!
Maryann here, too!
You’ll find raw ginger in the fruit/veggie aisle of the grocery store, normally near the unpackaged garlic, shallots, etc.
Ginger is priced by the pound so you just break off what you want, keeping in mind that there can be a lot of waste if you choose poorly :)
Balut?! Tell me that’s not true...
