Organic crystallized ginger


This is the hero behind the Ginger and Macadamia Nuts cookies, now on sale in my Etsy shop.

These are certified organic crystallized ginger coated with organic sugars. It is moist and soft, with a delicious pungent, spicy and sweet flavor. It makes a good snack, flavoring your tea, chopped and mix with yogurt or ice cream, sprinkle on your salad...

Benefits of ginger
It cures morning sickness, motion sickness remedy, reduces pain and inflammation, heartburn remedy and flu prevention.

Treatment of ginger has long been used as a natural treatment for stomach flus or food poisoning, which is not surprising given the positive effects ginger has upon the digestive tract. In Chinese medicine, ginger tea is used in the treatment of menstrual cramps.
