Dry split ginger

We are offering ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the plant zingiber officinale, consumed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It derives its name to its genus and family (zingiberaceae). Dry split ginger produces a hot, fragrant kitchen spice. Dry split ginger can also be steeped in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which honey is often added; sliced orange or lemon fruit may also be added. Ginger can also be made into candy, or ginger which has been made commercially since 1740. Dry split ginger can be substituted for ground ginger, although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat different. Powdered dry ginger root is typically used as a flavoring for recipes such as gingerbread, cookies, crackers and cakes, ginger ale, and ginger . Candied ginger, or crystallized ginger, is the root cooked in sugar until soft, and is a type of confectionery. Fresh ginger may be peeled before eating. For longer-term storage, the ginger can be placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen.
