Ginger - Chopped
China /
Zingiber officinale
Chopped ginger is great for infusion into teas and syrups. When the hot water hits the spice, the "bite" of ginger is re-hydrated and the aromatic qualities transfer to the liquid.
We don't recommend grinding this ginger at home as the rough fibers are very difficult to process. Use ginger powder if you need the ground form for baking.
