Flavor and aroma

• Sharper, spicier, and peppery notes compared with common ginger.
• When simmered, it releases a warm, fragrant aroma that enhances broths and sauces.
• Whole roots maintain flavor integrity until you’re ready to use them, then release character as you slice or grind.

How to use

• In soups and sauces, add the dried root to infusion; soak to soften if desired for milder flavor.
• For curry pastes, peel, chop, and grind with other ingredients to build depth.
• For tea or tonics, soak in hot water for 15–20 minutes to create a fragrant infusion.
• In Tom Yum or Tom Kha style dishes, toss in the root so it softens during cooking.
