Ginger (Zingiber officinale) comes from a flowering plant originating in Southeast Asia. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, and it’s closely related to turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. The rhizome, or underground part of the stem, is the part commonly used as a spice. It’s often called ginger root or just ginger. Farmers harvest ginger by pulling the entire plant out of the soil, removing the leaves, and cleaning the rhizome. Ginger adds a fragrant zest to both sweet and savory foods. The pleasantly spicy “kick” from the root of Zingiber officinale, the ginger plant, is what makes ginger ale, ginger tea, candies and many Asian dishes so appealing. The aromatic and fiery spice has been a signature ingredient in Asian cuisine since ancient times. Today, it is frequently used in medicines, food, and cosmetics across the globe. Ginger ground has a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet taste with citrusy and peppery notes.

The ginger spice has been used for centuries to add flavour and aroma to cooking. The fresh stem is typically used in Asian dishes, whilst the dried, powdered spice is more popular in European cooking. The spice has a slightly biting taste and is used, usually dried and ground, to flavour breads, sauces, curry dishes, confections, pickles, and ginger ale. In the United Kingdom, ginger spice is commonly used for gingerbread, and the underground stem is crystallised or preserved in sugar (known as stem ginger) and added to confectionery. The ginger rhizome and oleoresin (a mixture of essential oil and resin) extracts are also used to add fiery flavour to ginger beer and ginger ale. In addition to tea, plenty of delicious recipes include ginger in the form of freshly grated or minced ginger root, ginger paste or dry ginger powder. Ginger can balance the sweetness of fruits and the flavour is great with savory dishes, such as lentils. Oleoresin (a mixture of essential oil and resin) extracted from the ginger rhizome has a refreshing aroma and is commonly found in perfumery and cosmetics.

Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, and it’s responsible for many of ginger’s potential medicinal properties. Gingerol benefits gastrointestinal motility ― the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. Eating ginger encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn’t linger as long in the gut. Ginger provides relief from discomforts of nausea by encouraging stomach emptying. For generations, women have praised the power of ginger to ease “morning sickness” and other queasiness associated with pregnancy. Eating ginger can cut down on fermentation, constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas. Gingerol has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, according to research. One scientific review in 2019 concluded that ginger supplementation significantly reduced body weight, the waist-hip ratio, and the hip ratio in people with overweight or obesity. Additionally, there is evidence that ginger consumption significantly reduces “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increases “good” cholesterol (HDL), and also lowers blood sugar levels for people with type 2 diabetes. Known health benefits of ginger are as listed: soothes nausea, aids digestion, eases gas and diarrhea, reduces inflammation, decreases fever, lowers blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, improves fertility, helps heal infections like the common cold, relieves pain from menstrual cramps, migraines, and arthritis.

About Product

The finely ground rhizome — naturally dried, free from additives, and rich in aromatic oils — delivers a warm, spicy kick with citrusy and peppery notes, plus a pleasant fiery zest. Originating from Southeast Asia and hand-harvested from the Zingiber officinale plant, Aroma’J Ground Ginger offers purity, warmth, and versatility in every pinch — perfect for gingerbread ANZAC biscuits, sticky date pudding, and a warming cup of fresh ginger tea.

Ginger harvesting is done simply by lifting the rhizomes from the soil, cleansing them, and drying them in the sun. The dried ginger rhizomes are irregular in shape, branched or palmate. Their colour varies from dark yellow through light brown to pale buff. Ginger may be unscraped (with all of its cork layer), partly scraped, or scraped or peeled (with all of its cork, epidermis, and hypodermis removed).
