Anyone know the difference between real and gmo/breed ginger? The one in the package is organic but looks bigger than. The conventional one to me

    They’re both real ginger. My guess is the organic ginger was in the ground longer, so it got fatter while the gmo ginger was harvested younger. GMOs get a bad rap as far as health concerns go.

    The environmental arguments against large monocultures is fair though.

    If you’re in the U.S. and it’s marked organic, then it’s non-gmo. I don’t think ginger is commonly gmo anyway, but if you have a preference, grab the organic.
