What it is

Ginger puree is made from the root of the ginger plant, a flowering perennial native to Southeast Asia. The root is cleaned, peeled, and then processed into a smooth paste, often with the addition of water or other liquids to achieve the desired consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ginger puree primarily as a flavoring ingredient, adding a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet taste to foods. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, baked goods, beverages, and ethnic dishes, especially those with Asian or Indian influences.

Health notes

Ginger is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for various ailments. Some studies suggest ginger may help with nausea and indigestion, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. JECFA has evaluated ginger and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

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