- Additional Info
-
Ginger root, or zingiber officinale, is a tropical herb with a zesty, warming flavor profile that has been used as a spice in food and beverages for thousands of years. Dried ginger root has a pungent, earthy, and spicy flavor that can be used in both cooking and wellness recipes. Its familiar scent is characteristic of fresh ginger but lacks the bright-citrus notes. This cut root can be used to make syrups, infused as tea, blended into herbal formulations, and made into a tincture.
