I added an image to show how ginger is consumed in steamed dishes. It also shows the typical amount in each meal. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 18:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Early use of ginger

Could someone who can please add some information on archaeological evidence of early ginger use:

Ginger starch granules have been identified in Chinese Neolithic globular jars dating to the 8th millennium BCE in association with plants assumed to be used to make an early alcoholic drink, namely broomcorn millet, Job's tears, rice, and snake gourd.

I suggest that the research section say that results on the efficacy of ginger in treating pregnancy and chemotherapy nauseas are mixed. The current references cited are both at least 10 years old. This more recent review suggests ginger does help pregnancy nausea https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11982843/ It may help for chemotherapy nausea too https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38625733/ I’m not an expert in the field and did not do a comprehensive literature review, so I’m not sure if the consensus of experts has changed in the last 10 years or if there is no consensus.
