“Indian ginger is quite similar to Japanese ginger. The key difference is that in India it is harvested after five to six months, while in Japan it is harvested much earlier, during two to three months, when it is still tender and more delicate in flavor,” said Vicky Dodani, co-founder and CEO of agri-food processing company Agrizy. “India also lacks the specialized processing facilities and ecosystem needed to produce sushi ginger or Gari.”
