Grounded ginger

Powdered ginger, derived from dried and ground ginger, offers a mild, spicy flavor that is less intense than fresh ginger. Featuring subtle aromas of lemon and mint, it has a tangy, peppery and slightly earthy flavor with a hint of bitterness. This versatile powder pairs perfectly with Asian dishes, curries, hot drinks and desserts.  Cultivated for its multiple benefits, powdered ginger is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, offering health benefits. Obtained from fresh, dried and ground roots, it is easily incorporated into savory and sweet dishes. Historically used as currency and even as a tax in the Middle Ages, ginger has a long history of being used in Malaysia to win the hearts of women.  This essential ingredient of Asian cuisine also adapts to a variety of dishes, from Chinese, Thai and Indian recipes to vegetarian and pastry preparations. Added to salad dressings, soups, marinades, meats, fish, cakes and desserts, powdered ginger brings a tangy and spicy flavor as well as a touch of freshness to juices and smoothies.  To reveal its full flavor, it is recommended to simmer the powdered ginger over low heat, thus releasing its aromas. Health-wise, ginger promotes better absorption of nutrients, maintains a healthy digestive system and provides antioxidant properties. Rich in minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, potassium and manganese, it fights oxidative stress, reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Its anti-inflammatory properties relieve joint and muscle pain, improve digestion, relieve headaches and promote cardiovascular health. For millennia, powdered ginger has been used in traditional medicine for its antiseptic and sedative properties. Incorporating powdered ginger into your diet not only adds flavor to your dishes but also benefits your overall well-being.
