Ginger has been a common and widely used spice for centuries, particularly in Asian cultures. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and has been consumed as both a spice and an herbal medicine for a long time. Historically, ginger was used to treat various common diseases such as headaches, colds, nausea, and emesis. In medieval Europe, ginger was a key ingredient in baked goods like gingerbread, which could last for many months. The process of candying ginger, while not as ancient, reflects a broader tradition of preserving fruits and spices in sugar to enhance their flavor and shelf life.
