Harvesting

Organic ginger is typically grown in tropical regions such as India, China, and Nigeria, where the warm climate and rich soil provide ideal conditions for its cultivation. The ginger plant, known as Zingiber officinale, thrives in well-drained soil and requires ample sunlight and moisture to flourish. Harvesting of ginger roots usually takes place in the early autumn, when the plant's leaves begin to turn yellow and the rhizomes are at their peak of flavour and potency. After harvesting, the ginger roots are carefully cleaned and dried to preserve their natural properties. The roots are then ground into a fine powder, resulting in the characteristic golden-yellow colour of organic ground ginger. This versatile spice contains a range of beneficial nutrients, including gingerol, a bioactive compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Additionally, ginger is a good source of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium, further enhancing its nutritional value.

As a natural raw product, organic ground ginger retains its inherent health benefits without the need for added nutrients or minerals. Its distinct flavour and aroma make it a popular ingredient in culinary and medicinal applications, adding warmth and depth to dishes while promoting overall well-being.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Ginger means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Ginger in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
