Yellow Ginger Harvest

I had a recent post wherein I said that I had a very small ginger to harvest from my mature yellow ginger plant.   Apparently I was wrong.  The ginger "fruits" are apparently intertwined with the roots.  Now I'm not sure what that small bulb was that I saw before.   And now I have pictures.  There are like 10 pieces from my ginger.  The great thing is that from that single plant, I now have about 6 new plants or so.  it self propagates.  How cool is that?  I'm not sure how to eat this though.  I'm sure this needs some dying and curing period.  I'll have to read up on that.
