What it is

Ginger is a flowering plant whose rhizome, or root stalk, is widely used as a spice and in traditional medicine. It is native to Southeast Asia and is now cultivated in many tropical regions around the world. Fresh ginger is the unprocessed root, often used grated, sliced, or minced.

Why it's used

Fresh ginger is primarily used to add a pungent, spicy flavor to foods and beverages. It is common in baked goods, curries, stir-fries, and marinades. It is also frequently used in beverages like ginger ale, tea, and smoothies.

Health notes

Fresh ginger is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a traditional remedy for nausea and indigestion, with some studies supporting these uses. JECFA has evaluated ginger and established specifications for its identity and quality. Evidence regarding other health benefits is ongoing and requires further research.

Allergen info

Ginger is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
