Description

Ginger powder is a spice obtained from the dried and ground root of Zingiber officinale, a plant native to Southeast Asia. Its aroma is warm, spicy, and slightly sweet, and it is widely used in cooking to provide an intense and characteristic flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.

Ginger powder is used in a wide variety of recipes, from stews, soups, and sauces to desserts and beverages, adding an exotic and stimulating touch. In addition to its culinary use, this spice is valued for its multiple antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties, which can promote gastrointestinal health and strengthen the immune system.

In the gastronomy of Latin America, ginger powder is also known simply as ground ginger or sometimes as dried ginger. It is a versatile, highly valued ingredient in baking, pastry making, and the preparation of traditional infusions.
