About Crystallized ginger

Crystallized ginger, also known as candied ginger, is made by cooking fresh ginger root in sugar syrup and then coating it in sugar crystals. Originating in Asia, where ginger is a staple ingredient, this sweet and spicy treat is popular in both Eastern and Western cuisines. Rich in flavor and offering a hint of heat, crystallized ginger is often eaten as a snack, used in baking, or added to dishes for a punch of zest. It provides ginger's natural compounds, such as gingerol, which may help with digestion and nausea relief. However, the high sugar content makes it less suitable for those watching their sugar intake. While it delivers some of the health benefits of raw ginger, moderation is key due to its calorie density. Crystallized ginger offers a delightful way to enjoy the bold taste and potential wellness perks of this renowned spice.
