Ginger
Good nutritional profile
Fresh ginger root, values for the peeled raw root.
Fresh ginger is the pungent root used grated or sliced in Asian stir-fries, curries, marinades and soups, in ginger tea and in baking. A 5 g piece, about 2 teaspoons grated, has about 4 kcal and contributes flavor rather than meaningful nutrients. A thumb-sized piece weighs about 15-20 g; peeling it with the edge of a spoon removes the thin skin with little waste.
