Ginger, a rhizome that belongs to the same family as turmeric, is often considered a superfood because of its high antioxidant and nutrient content and its anti-inflammatory power. It is also attributed with aphrodisiac properties. In addition to its medicinal benefits, ginger is a delicious spicy spice used in many recipes around the world. It is the base of the drink "ginger ale" and an essential spice in gingerbread. This essential root is also used in many spice blends, such as Indian massala and colombo, or ras-el-hanout, very common in North Africa. Ginger can be found in various forms: fresh, ground, candied, in essential oil or in syrup.... And it can be easily incorporated into both savory and sweet recipes!
The natural aroma of ginger will make your life easier, as you only need a few drops to subtly flavor your dishes. Very present in Asian cuisine, ginger is a perfect complement to stir-fry dishes and curries, but the natural aroma of ginger can also be added in small doses to stews or fish and seafood dishes. Why not spice up your pumpkin soups with some spicy natural aromas, such as nutmeg and ginger?
But ginger is also a sensation in desserts: married with chocolate or fruit, it's a real treat. So don't hesitate to add a little drop of natural ginger flavor to your ganaches, creams and other pastries. Finally, it is an excellent flavor enhancer for your cold drinks, cocktails and fruit juices. Feel free to add a drop or two of natural ginger flavor to your homemade strawberry, lemon or apple jams.
