I’ve been interested in making a ginger bug. Seems easy enough and can carbonate soda. Went to buy some this weekend and it was $4/lb. That seems like a lot! For reference, I usually buy fruits for the family or fermentation when they’re $1/lb and never go above $2/lb.
I plan on growing my own, prelim researching says it’s easy enough, but until then, where do you get yours and how much is it?
oh that site is neat.
WTF my grocery store?!
Find a farmers market or an Asian food market.
Hispanic market too. They sell it for 90¢/lbs at my favorite but $3 a hunk at the Walmart
Farmers markets in my area are 2x expensive as grocery stores. I’ve never been to a market cheaper than grocery.
$3.99 a pound here too! We do live in a high cost of living area, but damn.
