Fresh Ginger

Fresh Ginger is the knobbly rhizome widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern and Western cooking for its warm, spicy, slightly sweet flavor and aromatic heat; it is commonly used fresh, grated, sliced or minced in stir-fries, marinades, teas and baked goods. It is relatively low in energy at 80kcal per 100g and is used in small amounts to add big flavor without many calories. Nutritionally it provides modest amounts of fiber and trace minerals and is especially valued for bioactive compounds like gingerols and related phenolics that contribute to its anti-inflammatory and digestive-soothing effects. In terms of health, Fresh Ginger is often considered a beneficial culinary ingredient rather than a staple food — it supports digestion, may help reduce nausea and has compounds associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
