SHORT DESCRIPTION
Ginger is one of the world's most versatile spices – from classic ginger tea to fruity curry soup! Explore our diverse usage suggestions!

USE
Ginger is indispensable in many chutneys, marinades, dressings, stocks, and sauces for meat, fish, vegetables, or tofu. A particularly popular classic is curry, either as a soup or a dish, enriched with the subtle spiciness of ginger. Ginger is also ideal for adding the perfect finishing touch to desserts: applesauce and apple compote, baked goods, sorbets, creams, and gingerbread. Furthermore, ginger enhances jams made with apple, orange, quince, pear, or rhubarb. English cuisine also uses ginger. Think ginger baked goods like classic gingerbread. Or ginger beer, ginger liqueur, and ginger ale, a slightly spicy soft drink. Fruity smoothies also benefit from the addition of ginger. Or try a Prosecco apple juice punch, and of course, lemonade or lemon iced tea.

GOOD TO KNOW
Ginger is essential in numerous Indian and Asian dishes, as well as Latin American, Caribbean, and African specialties. It's excellent in stir-fries and curries, fish, shellfish, seafood, soups, and noodle dishes, as well as pumpkin stew and orange-carrot soup.

TASTE
This exquisite ginger is peppery and spicy, slightly sweet, with a fruity, warming, and woody nuance. It also boasts a refreshingly lemony note. Its components include essential oil, resin acids, neutral resin, and gingerol, which is why it's also called "ginger." STAY SPICED's ginger is unparalleled in its intense flavor – comparable to fresh ginger.

PRODUCTION
Ginger grows in the tropics and subtropics and is primarily cultivated in Asia. The oldest known cultivation of ginger—like that of many exotic spices—took place in China. The most important part of the plant is the yellowish-brown root, which is used as a spice. The essential oils are primarily responsible for its characteristic flavor. STAY SPICED's rich ginger comes from the Chinese province of Yunnan, where ideal growing conditions exist.
