Fingerroot (Boesenbergia rotunda) Size:1qt LH and the ways they goCommonly known as Chinese ginger, a medicinal and culinary herb from China and Southeast Asia. In English, the root has traditionally been called fingerroot because the shape of the rhizome resembles that of fingers growing out of a center piece. Rhizomes spread into many bunches much the same way as banana, ginger, galangal and turmeric do. Highly sought after for its culinary benefits. The leaves, shoots, and long, finger like roots are all edible.
