Rhizomes, the underground stems of certain plants, are nature's hidden treasures. Arrowroot, known scientifically as Maranta arundinacea, boasts rhizomes that have been used for centuries to produce a starch with incredible thickening properties. Couch Grass, also called Agropyron repens, reveals its tenacious rhizomes when dug up from an established vegetable garden - a reminder of its invasive nature. This grass spreads through its roots and young rhizomes, earning it names like Couch Grass or twitchgrass. In the depths of the ocean lies Neptune Grass (Posidonia oceanica), whose fibrous rhizomes wash up on Sardinia's beaches in April. These peculiar strands called egagropili captivate beachcombers with their unique texture and appearance. Moving away from natural wonders to culinary delights, pickled preserved and crystallized ginger pieces offer a burst of flavor in every bite. The close-up view showcases the intricate details of this versatile rhizome. Thai wild ginger (Grachai) presents fresh roots bursting with earthy aromas and intense flavors. Its robustness adds depth to various Thai dishes. Root vegetables take center stage in another captivating image - showcasing their vibrant colors and diverse shapes. From carrots to turnips, these edible rhizomes provide nourishment while adding visual appeal to any meal. Ginger continues to steal the spotlight as both fresh and dried ginger rhizomes grace our senses with their pungent aroma and distinct taste. Ground ginger takes it one step further by offering convenience without compromising on flavor. Aromatic spices join forces in yet another captivating photo - liquorice sticks entwined with cinnamon sticks alongside dried ginger rhizomes and grated dried turmeric. A symphony of scents awaits those who dare explore this harmonious blend. Horseradish root makes a bold statement as whole roots stand tall next to grated horseradish sauce, wasabi powder, and paste.
