Ginger root (gan jiang) has been used throughout Asia, South Africa and the Caribbean Islands for nearly 5,000 years. The dried, chopped root lends a warm, pungent flavor to soups, stews and tea blends. The organic dried ginger root is also used to produce liquid extracts and tinctures. In addition to proteins and lipids, the root provides vitamin B3, calcium, iron and other minerals.
