Candied Ginger (Stem Ginger in Syrup)
Candied Ginger (Stem Ginger in Syrup) is stem ginger preserved in sugar syrup and commonly used as a sweet condiment, baking ingredient or nibble in many Asian and Western cuisines. It is energy-dense and very high in added sugar, containing about 77g of sugar per 100g, so it’s usually eaten in small amounts as a treat or flavoring. Nutrition-wise it contributes negligible protein and fat but supplies small amounts of minerals like magnesium and copper, and retains ginger’s characteristic bioactive compounds (gingerols/shogaols) that are traditionally linked to digestive benefits and mild antioxidant effects.
