Organic ground ginger: fresh, sharp and straight from nature

Organic ground ginger has a fresh, sharp and citrusy flavour. You'll most often come across this versatile spice in Asian dishes, but it also increasingly appears in all kinds of spice blends. You could say that ginger has earned its stripes in world cuisine over time. You can order organic ground ginger from us in a 400-gram shaker tub.

Where does organic ground ginger come from?

Ground ginger is made from the rhizome of the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale). The rhizome is dried and then finely ground. In Asia, ginger has been a staple of the kitchen and of traditional teas for centuries, and in Europe the spice has been used since the Middle Ages. As this ginger is organically grown, no chemical pesticides were used in its cultivation.

When to use organic ground ginger?

Organic ground ginger suits both sweet and savoury dishes. In Asia the spice is mainly used in savoury dishes, whereas in the Netherlands we more often use it in sweet dishes and treats. Speculaas, peperkoek and ontbijtkoek are all popular Dutch sweets containing ginger. Ground ginger is also delicious in tea, smoothies or a homemade chai. You can always use ground ginger instead of fresh ginger. Bear in mind, though, that the ground version is a lot stronger: one level teaspoon is as potent as a 2-centimetre piece of fresh ginger.
