wow...a green heaven!
what interesting fruits your friend has!
I even haven't ever seen them, those ones on the plate...so exotic...
black ginger? also have no idea about it.
we have only a classical one, and here it's about 10$ per a kg.
During Covid times a fake was popular that it protects from the virus, and the price grew to 100$;))))
it was a crazy circus....
10$ 😱 for a normal ginger, that's like too much. In India we would get it at 3$. In your place it must be getting imported and hence it's so expensive. Then there is Chinese ginger which we get here in Oman and that's like around 1$ a kg, but it is very different and you can make out, it barely has any nutritional properties in it.
Ginger is one of the most basic herb used in Indian kitchen, used almost in every dish that we make.
You bet, some of the most craziest things happened during Covid times.
