Seasoned Pioneers Ginger Root, Ground (32g)

Ground ginger has a hot, pungent flavor with peppery, lemony notes. It is made by grinding the rhizome Zingiber officinale into a fine powder. Much like fresh ginger root, the ground form is widely used in cooking.

Ginger’s benefits extend beyond the kitchen. It is well-known for its ability to alleviate nausea, vomiting, and other digestive issues. Its compounds also offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is valued for its ability to reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and strengthen the immune system.

You may also know ginger as a natural remedy for motion sickness, often consumed in tea or capsules. It’s also used to reduce muscle pain and soreness, making it a popular supplement for athletes.

Thanks to its versatility, ground ginger is a staple in French, Ethiopian, and Chinese cuisines, enhancing vegetables like sweet potato, pumpkin, and squash. It’s also a key ingredient in fruit dishes and baked goods, such as gingerbread, Jamaican ginger cake, and Yorkshire’s famous parkin.
