76. Zingiberaceae

The ginger family. Approx. 50 genera and 1600 tropical species. The familiar spice comes from the Zingiber genus. Equally important are tumeric (Curcuma longa) and cardamom (Elettaria cardamom, but also sometimes the Amomum genus). There are other spices that come from this family and what they seem to have in common are the health benefits that they bring.
