Description:
Ginger is one of the oldest cultivated plants. While its origin lies in Asia, today ginger is cultivated in many countries. It takes approximately nine months to one year before the ginger tubers are ready for harvesting. To retrieve the mild “stem-ginger”, which is the basis for our ginger pieces, the rhizomes are harvested after six months. After harvesting, workers wash and peel the rhizomes and then cut it into pieces. The pieces are cooked for several days, which makes them softer, and then sweetened.

Uses:
Candied ginger is a popular confectionary to accompany tea. It is also used as an ingredient for cakes and desserts, most famously the English ginger biscuit.
