NY Spice Shop introducing Crystallized Ginger crafted from high-quality fresh ginger root. Each Ginger crystal is carefully peeled, sliced, and then cooked in thick sugar syrup. Th is process gives ginger the sweetness of sugar syrup, which is then balanced by allowing the pieces to dry while keeping their center soft and chewy. Then give the ginger its signature crystalline appearance and enhance its sweet and spicy flavor. Ginger crystal is a snack as well as tasty and nice to eat, it also has some health-beneficial uses and can be used in case of digestive disorders and nausea.
