Contact SupplierDerived from dried ginger root, ginger powder is a versatile spice that can be used for medicinal or culinary purposes. For thousands of years, ginger has been used in traditional medicine, thanks to its rich supply of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, such as gingerol, beta-carotene, capsaicin, and curcumin.
Scientifically known as Zingiber officinale, ginger root comes from a plant of the same name, which is grown primarily in Southern Asia. Ginger powder has been exported to other parts of the world from Southern Asia for roughly 2,000 years and has been a valuable element of the spice trade. In modern times, it is highly valued for its role in herbal medicine. Ginger powder also provides a longer shelf life and more versatility than the pungent fresh form.
