Yes, in general you should be careful with food from China just everything that grows under the earth as ginger.

However, it is also dependent on the region, especially the rural regions such as Yunnan, Qinghai, Fujian or Zhejiang, that pollution is not as bad or not present at all. In the last two, a great deal of agriculture is being carried out, and this is often still quite traditional.

Yunnan is known for its beautiful nature and in many areas within the province also very clean.

In food from China, you have to watch where you come from. China is known to cheat where it is only possible but not everywhere it is bad.

There are quite great areas for ginger cultivation that are also very high quality.

Of course, I can’t tell you, but most of it comes from Yunnan, Fujian and Shandong.

Shandong is relatively close to Beijing, especially the North of Shandong. There are already emission clouds and there are no savings with pesticides. Since this is the main producer of ginger, there is also little traditionally flocked there is a lot of industrial agriculture.

You can try to track the supply chain or see if you get Japanese ginger. They are often smaller but very high quality and the highest standard is just good enough for the Japanese.

I’ll tell you, I’m more often in China and eat there. I’m alive.

Even really noble restaurants there would be closed here faster than you can say health care, but as far as the burden of such chemicals is concerned, this is harmless in such quantities.

As I said, look in the future if you can get ginger from Japan, India or South America.

You read contradictory statements about the quality and also heavy metal and pesticide loads at ginger from China.

Tomato products, whether it happens, in pieces or as a mark, are repeatedly warned against poisons in tests. It is also particularly important to note honey, which is delivered from China and then lands in the supermarket shelves, because as much as the German uses honey in the year, can not be produced in Germany. I’m glad my neighbor’s hobby beekeeper is…

If possible, I avoid buying products from China.

Ginger is actually quite easy to pull on the window bench itself. Numerous instructions can be found on the web.

I’m buying ginger from the Demeter farm. I can be very sure that this is not contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals.

Edit: Here is something else found on organic ginger from China:

This is because it is also very contradictory in China. It’s very important to the province. The stuff from Shandong… should be avoided if you know. But gives really beautiful fields in Yunnan or Fujian often quite traditionally without machines or chemicals (the often poor are there)

From the provinces you can get really good stuff. So really top shelf. But this lands less often in export than the industrially huged from Shandong.

Hello!

It is about the “growth” that there is always working in great style with “very healthy” (hust!) pesticides…

This certainly applies to various plants that are processed into tea.

I can’t contribute more precisely to this.

In a chemical laboratory, you could certainly find out more details.

Greeting

Well, in this country, the importing companies are also repeatedly sending samples to the laboratories.

And we consumers can only hope and trust that they do a good job and also adhere to the benchmarks.

But what you don’t really look for can “slip” already.

Shall he be unhealthy? I didn’t know. I find fresh ginger very tasty.

When I first peeled ginger and cut small, I didn’t want to stop breathing the scent of the ginger deep. :

ginger, garlic, etc. have a long journey, about 60 days until they arrive in Germany.

In order not to spoil these foods, they are treated with pesticides.

Last seen a documentary about garlic, the garlic is 60 to 68 days on the ship and is treated with pesticides so that it is not bad. It’s probably the same with ginger.

I’m afraid I don’t know why he can be sold at the supermarket anyway.

In China, pesticides are used that are prohibited in Germany/EU.
