Description
Botanical Name: Zingiber officinale
From the fragrant kitchens of Asia to the bustling old spice routes, dried ginger has long been treasured for its warm, citrus-tinged heat and its ability to bring depth and clarity to both sweet and savoury dishes.
Spice Zen certified organic ground ginger is freshly milled at our gluten-free Sydney facility in small batches to preserve their natural purity and crafted without anticaking agents, fillers or processing aids. Immediately sealed in amber glass jars, the powder retains its lively aroma, warm spice notes and clean, citrus-lifted finish.
This ground ginger offers more concentrated aromatics, a deeper warmth and a sharper, brighter flavour making it a pantry essential for modern cooking.

Wellness Note
Across many traditional cuisines, dried ginger has been valued for its warming character, aromatic depth and its use in soothing teas and nourishing meals. In traditional Indian and Asian cooking, dried ginger (known as shunthi in Ayurveda) is appreciated for its warming, invigorating nature and is often used in herbal teas, winter broths and festive sweets. It is considered gently heating and is thought to support clarity and balance for Vata and Kapha and to be mindfully used in cooking for Pitta with cooling foods.
