Ginger powder – High dose

Ginger, a warm and expressive spice

Ginger comes from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, a plant widely used in many world cuisines. When ground into a powder, it offers a warm, slightly lemony, and pungent flavor. It allows you to enhance a recipe without the need to peel or grate fresh ginger.

This Secrets d’Eden product is presented as a 100 g organic ginger powder. The term "High dose" is retained in the product's trade name. Its versatility makes it an easy ingredient to incorporate into drinks, savory dishes, desserts, and baked goods.
