Fresh ginger in kaaikani form consists of knobby, irregular-shaped rhizomes, typically ranging from 5 to 15 centimeters in length. The rhizomes have a pale yellow to light brown skin, which may be smooth or slightly wrinkled, depending on maturity. The surface is often covered with small, thin root fibers, and there may be branching points where new shoots emerge.The texture of fresh ginger in kaaikani form is firm and slightly fibrous, with a juicy interior. The skin is thin but tough, providing protection for the tender flesh inside. When cut or grated, fresh ginger releases a fragrant juice that adds both flavor and moisture to dishes.
