Growing Ginger

My question is not about growing ginger although we do grow our own. I bought quite a big rhizome of ginger at a shop recently. On cutting into it we found that the flesh was green. There is also a ring of white flesh around the outside just under the skin. I'm wondering whether it's been sprayed and weather it's healthy. It's a product of Australia. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?
