Ginger Pieces

Candied ginger, also known as crystallized ginger, is a product made from sliced ginger root that has been cooked until softened and then lightly coated in sugar. These chewy, snackable slices are an ideal spicy-sweet treat and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with other foods. They can be added to baked goods like cookies and breads, sprinkled atop frosted cakes and cupcakes for a garnish, or used to make a quick and aromatic ginger tea by steeping a piece in hot water. Candied ginger also adds zest to stir-fries and other savory dishes.
