Ginger with good quality is plump and firm, with rough skin and tension. If the appearance is smooth and delicate, it may have been smoked by sulfur. If you rub off the ginger skin by hand, the skin of the yellow ginger will peel off easily.

Good ginger has a strong spicy taste. Ginger smoked with sulfur can smell sulfur, and the taste of ginger itself will be much lighter or have other miscellaneous smells.

Ginger will produce toxins after freezing, and juice will flow out when you pinch it gently. Never buy such ginger.
