Echoing similar concerns in a post shared on her Instagram page, Vimbai questioned the sudden shift in the ginger market, especially the growing presence of unusually large ginger roots, allegedly imported from China.
“I’m genuinely wondering how we got to the point of importing ginger—something you can grow in your backyard,” she said. “These oversized, larger-than-life gingers from China… I can’t speak on the taste because I didn’t buy it. I’m not putting that in my body. Maybe I’m being ignorant, that’s possible—but it’s not the ginger I’m familiar with. Until I’ve done more research, I won’t be consuming it.”
