Mindfully Selected Ingredients for Therapeutic Benefits

Our ginger pieces contain two simple but powerful ingredients:

• Mature Ginger Root: Carefully selected for its higher concentration of beneficial compounds and robust flavor profile. Mature ginger contains more active compounds like gingerols and shogaols than young ginger.
• Natural Sugar: A light sweetening that balances the ginger's natural heat while preserving its therapeutic properties. The sugar helps make the beneficial compounds more bioavailable.

• Immune System: Provides antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that support immune health

Ancient Wisdom: Ginger in Traditional Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginger (sheng jiang) has been used for over 2,000 years as a warming herb that expels cold, strengthens digestion, and promotes the flow of Qi. It was considered so valuable that pots of ginger were carried on ancient Chinese sailing vessels to prevent seasickness and maintain crew health during long voyages. Ginger was also traditionally given to new mothers during the postpartum period to prevent the entry of "wind" into the body and support recovery.

The practice of sweetening ginger dates back to ancient Chinese herbal traditions, where it was found that combining ginger with natural sweeteners enhanced both its therapeutic properties and palatability.
