Butterfly Ginger is the focus of this video, a name used to describe yellow butterfly ginger (Hedychium flavescens), white butterfly ginger (Hedychium coronarium), and kāhili ginger (Hedychium gardnerianum). Foraging in Hawaii for butterfly ginger is a powerful practice of land management, as these plants are invasive species. Butterfly Ginger, also known as Himalayan Ginger and several other common names, is found in tropical and subtropical locations around the globe. Eat the invasives for good health, emergency preparedness, community land management, and all of the ways this practice supports climate change solutions.
