Ginger is mainly grown in the highlands of Peru, particularly in the regions of Junin, Cusco, and Ayacucho.
In Peru, ginger is known as "jengibre" and is used in traditional medicine as well as in culinary applications.
Ginger is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and was brought to the Americas by the Spanish colonizers. Peruvian ginger is known for its spicy and aromatic flavor, which is why it is used in many traditional Peruvian dishes, such as ceviche and lomo saltado.
In recent years, ginger has gained popularity in Peru as a health food, with many people consuming it as a tea or juice for its alleged health benefits.
