Ginger ‘Redback’ is an Australian native bush tucker plant. The shoots, fruit and rhizome are edible. The plant grows to 2 metres and does best in full or part-shade. The leaves are green on top and red on the underside. White flowers in spring and summer followed by edible blue fruit, which is very attractive to birds. The rhizomes are similar to galangal in flavour – less tangy than “ginger”.
