Japan's refreshing alternative to ginger. Myoga.
-
Myoga is a perennial herb native to Japan, China and South Korea. Refreshingly spicy and highly nutritious, it is closely related to ginger. But people eat the flavorful flower buds and stems, rather than the fibrous root. Seasonal in summer, myoga is typically pickled or thinly sliced and added to miso soup, noodles and salads. It can also be battered, fried and served as tempura. Myoga additionally offers anti-bacterial properties, improves blood circulation and aids hormone balance in women.
