Eating ginger in summer is better than medicine, and growing a small piece in a pot brings a big harvest

What are the benefits of eating ginger in summer?

1, Ginger brown sugar water: prevents heatstroke and air-conditioning sickness

If you often use the air conditioner in summer, over time it can cause air-conditioning sickness, such as fever, colds, diarrhea and so on. At this point you can have some ginger sugar water, which promotes sweating and blood circulation.

Cut the ginger into shreds or small pieces, put them in a pot with water and bring to a boil, then add brown sugar and boil for about 10 minutes, then drink it right away while it is hot. Do not wait until it cools down to drink it, or the effect will not be as good.

2, Vinegar-soaked ginger: boosts appetite and strengthens the spleen and stomach

In summer it is easy to lose your appetite and not feel like eating. The gingerol contained in ginger can stimulate the taste nerves, thereby increasing appetite and strengthening the spleen and opening the stomach.

Cut the ginger into slices, put them into a clean plastic bottle, then pour in aged vinegar, seal it up, and after about 1 week it is ready to eat!

Taboos of eating ginger in summer

1, Do not eat it peeled

Many flower lovers are used to peeling ginger before eating it, but this actually affects how well the ginger's effects work. Before eating, you just need to wash it clean and cut it into shreds; there is no need to peel it.

2, Do not eat rotten ginger

Rotten ginger produces a toxic substance, and this substance can cause body cells to deform and die, so flower lovers must never eat that rotten ginger again!

3, People who should not eat ginger

For flower lovers with pneumonia, diabetes, pulmonary tuberculosis and so on, ginger should not be eaten long-term; it can only be eaten once in a while.

How to grow ginger in summer?

Since ginger has so many benefits, flower lovers might as well grow a pot of it at home!

1, Sprouting

Go to the vegetable market and buy fresh ginger, pick the sturdier pieces of ginger, take them home and put them in moist sand, and in about 3-5 days they will sprout.

2, Prepare the soil

Wash eggshells clean and sun them, crush them into powder, then mix them with coal cinder and peat soil in a 1:1:2 ratio to make a loose, breathable nutrient soil.

3, Potting the sprouted ginger

It is best to choose a wider flower pot, and bury the sprouted ginger in the soil about 3-5cm deep. Note that the sprouting eye of the ginger must face upward.

4, A place with good scattered light

Put the flower pot in a place indoors with good scattered light and keep the soil moist. After about 2-3 weeks, you will see the ginger sprouts emerge from the pot surface, and at this point you can give it some direct sunlight.

5, Daily care

Once the ginger sprouts have grown a bit, you can move the flower pot to a south-facing balcony. When you see the surface of the potting soil turn white, water it. Be careful to mist it often and ensure enough air humidity, and the ginger will grow tall very quickly!

6, Harvesting the ginger

After another 2-3 months, when you see the ginger leaves gradually turn yellow and the leaves begin to fall, do not worry, this proves the ginger is already mature. At this point dig the ginger out of the flower pot, and you can harvest a big pot full!
