Fresh Ginger is a most essential ingredient for every kitchen. Besides being the king of savory and sweet spicy spices (how’s that for a description), it’s distinct pungent flavor brings heat and life to so many recipes we love. From soups and sauces to healthy desserts, ginger has a way of literally stealing the show every time. But aside from all that, there will undoubtedly be (many) times that you’ll be drawn to it for its medicinal properties.
