Dehydrated Ginger

Dehydrated Ginger is produced from fresh, mature rhizomes of Zingiber officinale, carefully cleaned, peeled, sliced or ground, and dried under controlled conditions to reduce moisture content while retaining the natural aroma, flavor, and pungency. The dehydration process extends shelf life, reduces storage and transportation costs, and preserves the nutritional and functional properties of the ginger.

It is widely used in the food, beverage, nutraceutical, herbal, and pharmaceutical industries as a flavoring agent, spice ingredient, and health supplement component. Dehydrated ginger is valued for its sharp, spicy taste, warm aroma, and health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, digestive, and immune-boosting properties.
