Chatham-Kent Ripe For The Ginger

FarmChatham-Kent could be just the right spot for growing ginger.

That’s according to Chatham-Kent Mayor Randy Hope who says Chinese investors are interested in growing the plant here.

Ginger is a prime ingredient in Chinese cooking, but there are also a lot more benefits that ginger provides.  Naturopathic doctors use ginger in many remedies including a cancer preventative.

Hope says they are currently doing studies to see if the soil in Chatham-Kent is right for ginger.
