I don't think I am familiar with this variety of ginger, but not 100% sure. Is the rhizome edible? What a magical plant, I would love to squeeze and sniff.

In my place, I have never heard of the use of its rhizomes in cooking or as food. Considering it grows wild in the gardens of the village people, and they let it grow, I believe it's because the rhizome is used for medicinal purposes or for a natural treatment. But I'll try to dig deeper into this issue in the future. Thank you for your attention!
