Ginger

GINGER
      The rhizome of ginger (Zingiber officinale) exhibits a relatively low vitamin concentration but is characterized by a significant mineral profile. Specifically, it is notable for its concentration of: silicon (53.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), boron (49.0%), copper (23.0%), vanadium (18.0%), potassium (17.0%), rubidium (15.0%), iodine (14.0%), manganese (12.0%), and magnesium (11.0%). Furthermore, it contains total phytosterols (27.0% DV) and dietary fiber (10.0%). The carbohydrate fraction includes a substantial quantity of starch (4.0 g per 100 g) and trace amounts of sucrose (0.7 g per 100 g).
     Ginger rhizomes possess the capacity to bioaccumulate significant levels of lead (26.0% DV per 100 g), as well as strontium (2.0%) and the rare transition metal iridium (0.06 µg per 100 g; the biological role of which remains unestablished). In contrast to most vegetable crops, ginger is characterized by a unique profile of saturated fatty acids: lauric (12:0; 0.041 g per 100 g), caprylic (8:0; 0.007 g), myristic (14:0; 0.019 g), and palmitic (16:0; 0.125 g). It also contains relatively rare monounsaturated fatty acids, including omega-7 palmitoleic acid (16:1; 0.022 g) and omega-11 gadoleic (eicosenoic) acid (20:1; 0.007 g).
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 4.0% of the daily allowance.
Caloric content per 100 g: 80 kcal
