What it is

Dried ginger is made from the rhizome (underground stem) of the ginger plant, Zingiber officinale. The rhizomes are washed, peeled, and then dried, either naturally in the sun or using mechanical dryers. This process concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life.

Why it's used

Dried ginger is primarily used as a spice to add a warm, pungent flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in spice blends, marinades, baked goods, and savory dishes, particularly in Asian and Indian cuisines. It can also be used in teas and beverages.

Health notes

Ginger is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is widely consumed in food and beverages, and studies suggest it may help with nausea and indigestion. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated ginger and its components. Evidence regarding specific health benefits is ongoing and generally considered positive for typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

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