About buying ginger. Very many types have Aspartame and Saccharine in them (disguised behind the E-numbers E951, E954), and that is both unhealthy for us and makes it taste chemical. Does anyone know a ginger brand with good, sweet tasting, not pink and not artificially sweetened? Yeah, I think we just have to. :)

It's hard to find the right commercial version though, cause making it myself for a one person household is a bit too much. The first brand I bought tasted a bit too bitter/chemically. I tried rinsing the ginger in cold water and then squeezing it out and that helped. However, it's STILL not as good as the restaurant version. Guess I'll have to keep going back. :) I realized that the ginger is part of the reason why I love sushi in my favourite restaurant.
