Fresh Hawaiian ginger root, prized for its distinctively sweet and spicy flavor and pungent aroma. This 3-pound bag of locally grown ginger features fat, knobby rhizomes perfect for both culinary and wellness applications. Ginger contains gingerol, a bioactive compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that supports digestive health by boosting the rate at which food exits the stomach and moves through the digestive process.

Ideal for brewing fresh ginger tea by peeling and slicing the root, then steeping in boiling water for up to 10 minutes. Add peeled and grated fresh ginger to stir-fries with tofu or chicken, snap peas, red peppers, broccoli, and peanuts finished with soy and sesame oil sauce. Fresh ginger is also excellent in curries, marinades, baked goods, smoothies, and fresh juices.

Ginger has a long history as an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting, particularly from pregnancy or chemotherapy, and provides relief from bloating, intestinal gas, and motion sickness. Research shows ginger may help alleviate pain and inflammation associated with premenstrual syndrome, muscle soreness after exercise, knee osteoarthritis, and migraine. Additional studies suggest benefits for controlling inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus.
