Can I feed my Bearded Dragon Ginger -that is associated with sushi?

When sushi is served, they usually give you little slices of raw/wet pink ginger, to use as a palate cleanser. I was wondering if anyone new if it was safe let my adult Bearded Dragon try it?? Thanks!
Answers:
I wouldn't. Stick with flies and lettuce.
it is safe for them to eat, I have 6 beardies, and I have found that they will eat most anything.each one has different tastes...for the most part they prefer green leafy stuff, but a couple of mine are more prone to mice.
Feed it what it is suppose to eat. Why would you want to experiment and take the chance of harming it ? He's a Beardie not a Guinea Pig...
It is not one of the approved foods, so why chance it. I wouldn't.

i recomend to avoid that. it can be potent to your beardie. here is a list of food that is appropriate and necesary.

Bearded Dragons are omnivores. They need both animal and plant material in their diet. Crickets,
locusts, cockroaches, mealworms, waxworms, silkworms, butterworms, red worms, earthworms,
superworms with an occasional pinky will all be relished by your bearded dragon. You should use
caution NOT to feed fireflys as they are toxic to Bearded Dragons. Vegetables that you can offer
included greens (turnip, kale, romaine, dandelion, endive, escarole, mustard, and collard), green
beans, squash, peas, sweet potato, chicory, watercress, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Fruits can be
offered about 1-2 time a week (too much can cause diarrhea) such as blueberries, strawberries,
raspberries, cantaloupe, mango, kiwi, and grapes. Commercially made food is also available for
your bearded dragon. Fresh water should always be provided. Some bearded dragons like to be
misted and lap up the water that way. Powdered vitamin/mineral supplement may be offered 1-2
times a week.
Please do not listen to the person telling you to feed it lettuce. It is not a high vitamin-type food and is very watery and not filling at all. It will also make its feces watery. Please stay away from it, and use a staple and easy to find green like collards(along with mixing it up a bit with other veggies)
