Ginger Root, Organic
Organic dried ginger root has a warming, pungent flavor with a bright citrus-like edge. The cut root can season soups and stews or bring heat to herbal tea blends.
Simmer it for a stronger ginger infusion, then strain; pair it with lemon, honey or cinnamon according to taste. Its dried pieces are also convenient for slow-cooked savory dishes.
