Ground ginger 500g.

Ground ginger.

As a rule, we remember this healing root during periods of exacerbation of colds. After all, everyone knows that ginger is a real storehouse of vitamins and minerals, which the body so desperately needs at the time of illness. A cup of aromatic tea will not only give you strength and energy, but also give you a good mood.

This herbaceous plant is native to India. After a while, it began to be grown in Barbados and Jamaica, and later Brazil, China and Nigeria began producing it.

Only ginger root has won its recognition among gourmets around the world. It has a pungent odor and pungent taste. The root, freshly removed from the ground, is white in color, but when slightly dried it darkens slightly.

Ground ginger is in no way inferior in the amount of useful substances to fresh, and even more so pickled root. Its composition is represented by proteins, fats, carbohydrates, ash, dietary fiber, B vitamins, folic and ascorbic acids, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and other minerals.

If you think that ground ginger root is good only as an additive to tea, then you are deeply mistaken. The scope of its application is quite wide. It works equally well as a seasoning for meat dishes, vegetables, rice, legumes, and mushrooms. All the flavor facets of ground ginger are perfectly revealed when preparing marinades and sauces.

An irreplaceable property of ginger is its ability to break down fats and speed up metabolism. For this, the fair sex and people who struggle with excess weight fell in love with him.

Cosmetology also could not ignore the healing root. It is included in anti-cellulite scrubs, masks and creams.
