Brown Ginger: A Popular Kind of Ginger in Vietnam

11 November 2024

Vietnam is famous for its flavorful cuisine, and fresh ginger plays a starring role in many dishes. But did you know there’s more than one kind of ginger grown in Vietnam? Among them, brown ginger and buffalo ginger are the most popular. Let’s explore Vietnamese brown ginger, a popular kind of ginger in Vietnam.

1. Characteristics of Vietnamese Brown Ginger

Brown ginger or Se Ginger (Gừng Sẻ) is a familiar favorite in Vietnamese cuisine. It often has thick, brown skin and yellowish flesh, and also has a more fibrous texture. Brown ginger offers a punch with its strong, spicy flavor, making it a common addition to savory dishes, soups, and stir-fries. Due to its intense flavor and fibrous, people typically dry, grind, or pickle brown ginger for use in spice blends, marinades, and condiments. 

Vietnamese Brown Ginger

A close relative of Brown ginger is Se Lai Ginger (Gừng Sẻ Lai). Se Lai ginger is lighter-colored and boasts a slightly milder spiciness compared to Se ginger. People often use this kind of ginger in pickling and condiments, adding a touch of heat without overpowering the other flavors.

2. Nutritional value and uses of Brown Ginger

Ginger contains many vitamins, minerals, and organic compounds that are beneficial to health such as:

  • Gingerol: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
  • Shogaol: Helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain and has antibacterial effects.
  • Zingiberene: Strengthens the immune system, and aids digestion.

Therefore, it can offer the following health benefits:

  • Pain relief: It is effective in relieving pain, especially pain caused by arthritis and headaches.
  • Reduce inflammation: Compounds in ginger help reduce inflammation and swelling.
  • Support digestion: Buffalo ginger stimulates digestion, and reduces bloating and indigestion.
  • Antioxidant: It protects cells from damage, and prevents aging.
  • Warm the body: Ginger is warm, helps warm the body, especially effective in winter.
  • Support treatment of flu: Helps reduce flu symptoms such as runny nose, headache and fever

3. How to store fresh Brown Ginger

To preserve ginger effectively, refrigeration is a common method. People should wrap unpeeled or peeled ginger tightly in plastic or place it in a resealable bag before storing it. Keeping ginger in refrigeration can last up to 1 month which is longer than normal keeping at cool, dark places.

For a long transportation or preservation, freezing is another option. People wrap whole ginger tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a freezer-safe bag. This can preserve ginger for up to three to four months.

How to Store Fresh Ginger

The purpose of wrapping ginger is to minimize the exposure of ginger to air. The more air ginger gets, the more dry it is. Therefore, to keep the moisture and freshness of ginger, avoid as much air as possible.

It is essential to review ginger before use, regardless of the storage method. Discard any ginger showing signs of mold, shriveling, or discoloration. For small amounts of ginger, consider freezing it in ice cube trays filled with water for convenient portioning. By following these guidelines and selecting the appropriate preservation method based on your needs, you can enjoy the vibrant flavor of ginger for an extended period.

Conclusion

Nowadays, Vietnamese brown ginger is increasingly popular in the international market. This is thanks to its good quality and characteristic flavor. Vietnam exports ginger to many countries around the world such as Korea, Japan, and European countries.
