Ginger is a widely used spice and medicinal root known for its strong, pungent flavor and numerous health benefits. It is commonly used in both fresh and dried forms in a variety of culinary applications, from savory dishes and soups to teas and desserts. Rich in bioactive compounds like gingerol, ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help boost immunity, aid digestion, and relieve nausea.
