Description

Ginger jam is a delicious preserve made from fresh ginger and sugar, cooked until a thick texture and a characteristic sweet and sour flavor is achieved. This ingredient combines the spicy and aromatic touch of ginger with the sweetness of the fruit transformed into jam, making it ideal to accompany everything from toast and cheeses to elaborate dishes, providing an intense and exotic contrast.

Ginger, a plant native to Southeast Asia, has been used for centuries both in cooking and in traditional medicine for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger jam is popular in various culinary cultures for its versatility and unique flavor.

Properties: In addition to its characteristic flavor, this jam is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds from ginger, which can help improve digestion and provide a revitalizing effect. It is a natural sweetener that adds a different touch to both sweet and savory recipes.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: although "mermelada de jengibre" is the most common term, in some countries it may also be called dulce de jengibre or confitura de jengibre, always referring to this sweet and slightly spicy preparation.
