why is good to smell the ginger? (not about ginger people)?

Question

somewhere I heard that smell fresh ginger was good for you, I´m guessing your health, but not sure.

Answer 1

well, the smell of ginger gives its ripeness (if its smell is strong, it is very ripe, but if it's bland, and the ginger is hard, it's not quite ripe, so may have to wait!)

Answer 2

not sure what you are asking here.
