SELECTING
Choose fresh, firm ginger roots with smooth skin and vibrant aroma. Organic, unpeeled roots preserve flavor and energetic integrity. Avoid roots that are shriveled, dry, or moldy.

HOW TO USE
Grate, slice, or juice into beverages, tonics, elixirs, stir-fries, soups, stews, and plant-based desserts for warmth, spice, and zest. Pair with citrus, sweeteners, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, and plant-based creams to enhance aromatic complexity. Works in raw, cooked, or infused applications.

STORING
Store fresh ginger in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, or freeze for longer storage. Dried or powdered ginger should be kept in an airtight container away from light and moisture.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Galangal, turmeric, cardamom, or dried ginger depending on desired warmth, spice, and aromatic intensity.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Supports digestion, circulation, immunity, and inflammation reduction. Energetically, ginger uplifts, invigorates, and stimulates clarity, courage, and vitality.

CONCERNS
Excessive consumption can cause mild digestive discomfort. Use fresh or dried ginger for intended potency and flavor balance.

HISTORY
