Ginger root is an excellent spice that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury dishes. It has a warm, spicy, sweet flavour all at the same time. Its aroma is lemony and pungent. Ginger can be used in meat preparations, curries, soups, sauces, pickles, and sweets. It is also extensively used as a flavouring agent in beverages and candies. It comes in various forms, including whole root, cut and sifted, diced and powdered form. Organic Way sources its certified organic ginger cut & sifted direct from small-scale farm co-ops in India. If you like this spice’s unique flavour, you may also enjoy our organic fennel seeds. Our cut and sifted ginger means that the spice is not sold in whole form, but rather "cut" into smaller pieces and then "sifted" to remove the small pieces and dust that result from the cutting process." COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: India DID YOU KNOW? In some countries like Japan, slices of ginger are eaten between dishes. This acts as a palate cleanser.
