More on Ginger 

Ginger is an herb that originated in South East Asia and a member of the Zingiberaceae family along with galangal, turmeric and cardamom. 

While most people believe that ginger is a root it is in fact a rhizome which is a type of stem that grows underground. 

It has many health benefits and is anti-inflammatory, helps regulate blood sugar, is good for digestion and gastro issues, and great for treating nausea. 

What Can I Use it On?

• Sensational on tropical fruit such as mango, dragon fruit, pineapple, papaya and paw paw.
• Wonderful with stone fruit such as peaches, nectarines and cherries.
• Great as a tart topping on sweet ice cream or yoghurt (try the coconut ones 😋 )
• Stir through cocktails for some tropical flavour, great with vodka and soda! Make sure you strain it first for clearer cocktails.
