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.
