Alpinia zerumbet commonly referred to as “shell ginger” in English and “getto” in Japanese, is a perennial plant indigenous to the subtropical and tropical territories of East Asia. Specifically, its distribution encompasses the Nansei archipelago, which is situated amidst the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea in Japan. Shell ginger is a perennial herbaceous plant characterized by its rhizomes, which exude a distinct ginger aroma when sliced. The plant exhibits bifacial, slender leaves that span approximately 25–35 cm in length. Often cultivated as a compact indoor plant, its beautiful flowers display a pink hue in their budding stage and bear a resemblance to seashells. The spherical fruits of A. zerumbet feature striations and transition from an initial yellow hue to a vibrant red as they reach maturity.
