What it is

Ginger juice is the liquid extracted from the fresh roots (rhizomes) of the ginger plant, Zingiber officinale. The plant is native to Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in tropical regions. The juice is typically obtained by washing, chopping, and then pressing or blending the ginger roots.

JECFA has evaluated ginger and established specifications for its identity and purity. Evidence regarding other health effects is mixed and ongoing.
