Uses of ginger in African and Caribbean cooking
In West Africa, ginger flavours sauces and marinades, and is pressed into a sweet juice: in Nigeria, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Senegal, this traditional drink is called gnamankoudji. In the Caribbean, ginger goes into ginger beer, a fizzy drink traditionally associated with end-of-year celebrations in Jamaica, a country that was historically a major exporter of ginger to Europe.
