Ginger is a tasty, tropical, aromatic spice
traditionally used in Indian and Asian cooking. Today it is widely used as
a partner for meat, poultry and fish, as well as soups and stir-fries.
What’s more, it is the ultimate ingredient for gingerbread
men!
Introduced to England pre-1066, ginger was historically used mainly as
a baking spice. Ginger has a sweet aroma and a hot, biting flavour with
lemony notes. It is ideal used in baking.
In the past, ginger has been used
traditionally for travel sickness; the value of Ginger as an aphrodisiac
has also widely been suggested. Today, research suggests ginger may help
digestion and circulation.
