“Ginger is a multi-talented flavoring. It is sweet and floral on your tongue, tickles your sinuses, and warms the back of your throat. Ginger brings out all the flavor in sweet and savory foods.
Ginger root has been in use since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory, carminative, anti-flatulent, and anti-microbial properties. It contains health benefiting essential oils such as gingerol, zingerone, shogaol, farnesene, and small amounts of ß-phelladrene, cineol, and citral.
