Organic Ginger Powder Baby Bulk 500g Steenbergs details and description

Steenbergs organic ginger spice has a strong, clean flavour with lemony overtones, making it perfect for all baking recipes -especially gingersnaps, gingerbread, molasses cookies, coffee cakes, fruit breads, pies and muffins. Organic ginger (dried) also adds a bite to seafood, picks up the flavour of bland foods and cuts the fattiness of rich meats.  Steenbergs organic ginger comes from India, Sri Lanka or Vietnam.

Ginger comes from rhizome of a tropical, perennial plant - Zingiber officinale. Ginger grows erect, leafy shoots that get to over 1 metre in height (4ft) and 5mm in diameter, which die down annually. Separate flower stems grow directly from the rhizome, which end in white or yellow blossom with a purple-speckled lip. Although ginger flowers are used in Asian cookery, it is the rhizome - usually called the ginger root - that is the source of the spice. The ginger rhizome grows underground in tuberous joints, creating something that looks like a knuckled hand with swollen, plump fingers. Ginger rhizomes are encircled in scales, covered in a beige coloured skin that covers the pale tan to white fibrous flesh. The aroma and flavour of ginger is sweet and pungent with a lemony freshness, while the flavour is similarly sweet, spicy and warm depending on when harvested. Early harvested ginger is sweeter and more tender and so used for crystallised ginger, while the later harvested ginger is pungent and fibrous and so is used for the culinary spice. Dried ginger is uprooted from the ground, cleaned then dried in the sun. For more on ginger, look at  Wikipedia.

This is the 500g version of Steenbergs Organic Ginger Powder and is in our fully compostable and recyclable with other paper packaging. 

Packaging note: This is in our new certified plastic free white packaging which is fully compostable and recyclable. Some of the products, particularly ground spices may leak some of their essential oils through the bags. This does not impact the spices and is not a problem but may look a little different to what you may expect from plastic. We would also recommend that once opened you decant the spices into an airtight container. If you don’t like this new plastic free packaging, please order in glass jars (which are reusable and recyclable).
