DESCRIPTION

Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) has been used as a spice for thousands of years. As a spice, its hot flavour gives dishes an intense and exotic aroma with citrus notes. Its pungent taste comes from its gingerol and shogaol content, the active principles of ginger.

Ginger also has many properties, including for digestive health and to relieve motion sickness (cinetosis) (5).

Try our organic ginger powder and enjoy its refreshing and pungent aroma with citrus notes!

ORIGIN

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae family) is native to tropical Asia, India and China. It is an herbaceous plant that can grow up to one metre tall and has a perennial, tuberous, knotty and yellowish rhizome (1).

The part used as a spice is its rhizome*. Ginger rhizome has a hot and aromatic taste (1) and a distinctive shape that can sometimes resemble a swollen hand (2).

*Rhizome: elongated underground stem of varying thickness, branching to aerial stems and roots.

GINGER RHIZOME

HISTORY

Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a spice, it is rich in antioxidants and also has anti-inflammatory properties (3, 4). Ginger was also a commodity of great commercial value and was exported from India to the Roman Empire around 2,000 years ago, where it was a highly-valued spice (4).

Ginger rhizome has also been used to prepare beverages (such as ginger beer) and desserts. Historical trivia: the invention of the gingerbread man, a biscuit very popular in the Christmas holidays, can be traced back to Queen Elizabeth I of England in the 16th Century (4).

COMPOSITION

The essential oil of ginger contains zingiberol, a compound responsible for its distinctive aroma. The rhizome also contains resin, which is largely responsible for its pungent taste, due to its active principles shogaol and gingerol (1).

RECIPES

Ginger is used for culinary purposes. If you want to use it as infusoin, the recommended intake for adults is 0.5-2g/per day of ginger powder in one single dose, or taken in several doses. If it is consumed to relieve cinetosis (motion sickness), take 30 minutes before starting your journey (6).

For culinary use, ginger's hot flavour is closely associated with Asian cuisine, but can also be found in typical European desserts such as Pain d'épices, a traditional dessert in French cuisine. The recipe below explains how to prepare it:

Gingerbread (7):

Preparation time: 30 minutes.

Cooking time: 60 minutes.

Ingredients (6 people):

  • 250 g honey
  • 250 g flour
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 pack of baking powder
  • 1 pack of vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon green anise
  • 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon quatre épices*
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml of milk

Method:

  • Heat the honey in the microwave or in a saucepan.
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder, the two types of sugar and spices. Add the warm honey to the mix, and continue stirring with a wooden spoon.
  • Gradually add the eggs and add a little hot milk to help combine the mixture well.
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured baking tin.
  • Bake for between 60 and 75 minutes.
  • Turn the gingerbread out from the tin once it has fully cooled. Wait for at least 24 hours before eating.
  • Can be kept for a week, wrapped in aluminium foil.

*quatre-épices is a spice mix used mainly in France, containing ground pepper (black, white or mixed), cloves, nutmeg and ginger.

Finally, below is a chicken curry recipe where ginger is an essential ingredient to intensify flavour:
