About Pickled ginger

Pickled ginger, known as "gari" in Japanese cuisine, is a tangy and slightly sweet condiment typically served with sushi. Made by marinating thinly sliced fresh ginger in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and salt, it showcases a pale pink color due to young ginger or added food coloring. Originating in Japan, pickled ginger is valued for its ability to cleanse the palate between bites, enhancing the taste experience of delicate dishes like sashimi. Rich in antioxidants and compounds like gingerol, it may support digestion and reduce inflammation. However, its sugar content and sodium levels should be moderated when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Low in calories and fat-free, pickled ginger offers a flavorful addition to meals while contributing modestly to your overall nutrient intake.
