Ginger is the gnarled, aromatic rhizome of a tropical flowering plant. It is one of the most widely used dietary condiments and medicinal herbs in the world. Its primary bioactive compound is gingerol, which is responsible for much of its pungent flavor and its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The powder, made from dried ginger (Sonth), has a more pungent and less sharp flavor than fresh ginger.
Ginger is known as Vishwabhesaj, the “universal medicine,” in Ayurveda. Its pungent and heating nature makes it a powerful digestive stimulant that pacifies Vata and Kapha. It is used to ignite the digestive fire (Agni), relieve nausea and indigestion, and clear congestion from the lungs and sinuses. It is a key ingredient in the Trikatu formula and a staple in almost every Indian kitchen.
We source high-quality, mature ginger rhizomes from the best growing regions in India, ensuring they are plump and have a high concentration of aromatic oils.
The rhizomes are carefully washed, dried, and then ground into a fine, potent powder that is ready to add warmth and wellness to your life.
