Ginger, also known as ginger, imber, periwinkle or ginger root, is a plant in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). The main underground stem of ginger (also known as the ginger rhizome) is used as a culinary spice and medicine.
Our ginger powder is gently processed from organically grown ginger roots in raw food quality. The roots come from India and are peeled after harvest, gently dried at a maximum temperature of 40°C and ground into a fine powder. The gentle production process preserves the valuable ingredients and natural flavour in their best form. Ölmühle Sollings Organic Ginger Powder is 100% natural, additive free, vegan and lactose free. The resealable, airtight bag ensures that the ginger powder keeps for a long time and the valuable ingredients are reliably protected.
Ginger in the kitchen
In China and India, ginger has been regarded as a true all-rounder for thousands of years. It has been used there as a stimulant, food ingredient, flavouring, remedy and all-round health and prevention agent. In India, it is hard to imagine life without ginger, which is now used in almost every Indian dish. Did you know, for example, that ginger is an integral part of every curry powder?
Our Ginger Powder has a spicy-sweet, spicy-spicy flavour and is a real all-rounder in the kitchen. This spicy powder is not only great in Asian dishes. It can also be used in soups and fish dishes. In baking, for example with cinnamon, or to add flavour to rice pudding, fruit salad or smoothies, ginger powder adds that extra spice. It is best to add it at the end of preparation, as ginger powder releases its aroma quickly and cooking with it, for example, can make the flavour and spiciness very dominant.
Comparing ginger and turmeric
While ginger is best known for its intense and pungent flavour, turmeric root tastes milder and less intense in comparison, and differs mainly in its slight bitterness.
Turmeric is also known as curcuma or Indian saffron. The root belongs to the ginger family and looks very similar to ginger root. If you peel the two similar roots, you will notice that turmeric has a more intense, bright yellow colour, the pigment curcumin. The peeled ginger root is pale yellow in comparison.
Usage
Ginger powder is ideal for making smoothies and teas, and as an ingredient in curries and Asian dishes.
Once opened, the powder should be used quickly and always stored in a cool, dark place away from oxygen. We offer our turmeric powder in a handy resealable zip bag. The powder may contain traces of cereals containing gluten.
