Can ginger be eaten after germination?

When plants encounter unfavorable environmental conditions during their growth and development, some will temporarily stop growing, which is called dormancy. For example, when buds, bulbs and tuber vegetables mature, they accumulate a lot of nutrients in the body, and the protoplasm changes, the metabolic level decreases, the growth stops, the water transpiration decreases, the breathing slows down, and all life activities enter a relatively static state to increase the resistance to adverse environment.

Vegetables with dormancy will germinate as soon as they come out of dormancy, which will reduce the weight and quality of their tubers. For example, when potatoes begin to germinate after dormancy, not only the surface of potato blocks shrinks, but also an alkaloid is produced, which is harmful to human body after eating; The meat quality of onion, garlic seed and ginger will become hollow and dry after germination. After garlic seeds are harvested, the dormancy period is generally 2 ~ 3 months. [2]
