Ginger is a root found growing wild on Ginger Island. It must be harvested with a hoe. It can also be dropped by Tiger Slimes. Harvesting Ginger does not grant any XP.
Ginger can be placed in a Preserves Jar to make Ginger Pickles. Ginger is the only "Forage" item that can be pickled. Ginger cannot be placed in a Keg.
Caroline may request 100 ginger in the "Island Ingredients" Special Order. The reward is gold equivalent to 50% of base crop price and the Solar Panel recipe.
Notes
Ginger and ginger ale are common remedies for nausea. Though it is not specified in the objects descriptions, eating Ginger or drinking Ginger Ale cures the Nauseated debuff. This is hinted at by Birdie, the pirate's widow who lives on Ginger Island.
