The ginger that I see in stores in all from China. Are these tubers OK to use or are they treated with any substance so they can't be regrown?

You can plant grocery store ginger. Look for as many "fingers" or bumps as possible as that is growth points on the root. Ginger enjoys well drained nutrient rich soil that dries between waterings. Grown in a pot by a window it will do very well.
