Answers:
I don't think it's very common!. Raw ginger is so spicy alone!

If you love it, though, go for it!. The most common benefit is a cure for the upset stomach, as someone else mentioned!. It's also good for diarrhea, and there are several folk-remedies it's been used in that haven't been proven!. It has pain-killing and anti-bacterial properties in animals, so that may work for us as well!.

I've always been fond of ginger tea with lemon and honey for a sore throat!. It helps with congestion (no telling if the ginger is an added help or if that's just the steam!) and it's soothing for the throat!.

People would do it if they like it, or if they think the health properties are that great!. I'll sometimes suck on a very small sliver, but usually it's too hot for me! I love to dump a ton of it in stir-fry, though!. It's tasty and the other flavors kill the heat!.

According to wikipedia there are just a few medications that react badly to ginger!. Mostly it's good for you, so chew away with no fear if that's your thing!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think its good for u!.!.!.
its used almost in all azn cuisines like the pickled ginger and the candy ginger!. also making ginger tea can warm your body up and cure upset stomachs!. but but just eating it raw or peeled will be very spicy and i dont think ppl do that!.!.!.maybe some people do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to boil water, and cut about a 2 inch piece and let it steep in a mug of hot water, it tastes sooo good, and relieves the worst tummy aches and nausia!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

My husband does that and he isn't normal!. =] It's good for you and I know he does it because it is warm, spicy and peppery!. He loves that!Www@FoodAQ@Com

People gnaw on it raw, eat pickled ginger or suck on candied ginger to cure an upset stomache or aid digestion!. That's why pickled ginger comes with sushi!.!.!.you know, that weird lookin' pink stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Raw ginger is hot!. Its good with little lime juice and sugar!. It helps soothe your throat!. It is great for morning sickness (pregnancy)!.

No it isn't normal, and I don't think there will be any health benifits!.
Possibly because they like the taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
