Description
Consider this your invitation to enjoy the finest crystallized ginger in the world, in your own home. Our Australian ginger is grown near the northern coast of Australia, where the soils are fertile and the climate is extremely hot and humid?perfect growing conditions for this tropical rhizome. Although Australia produces less than 1% of the world?s ginger crop, it is universally acknowledged to be of exceptional quality, and we?re proud to offer you this rare taste of heaven at a great price. Our delicious Australian crystallized ginger comes to you gently sweetened with natural sugar, to provide the ideal balance of sweet-n-spicy to delight your palate.
Australian ginger is sweeter and less pungent than the ginger grown in other parts of the world. The roots you find in the supermarket are typically harvested at a mature stage after 12-18 months in the ground, but the ginger used to make our Australian Crystallized Ginger is taken after only 5-6 months, while it?s still quite tender. After slicing and crystallizing in a natural sugar solution, it boasts an incredibly fresh, clean taste and a soft, chewy consistency similar to gumdrops. As a result, most of its ?crunch? comes from the sugar crystals.
Mild and delicious, our Australian Ginger is outstanding for eating out-of-hand as a stand-alone snack, and mixes well with other foods to provide a wonderful gingery ?snap? without overpowering the other flavors. You can cook or bake with it at will, or add fresh to your favorite dishes as that special ingredient that takes your dining to new heights. Try it in fruit sauces, trail mix, creamy salad dressings, or even as a contrast candy on a cheese or bread platter at your next get-together. Low in fat, with plenty of well-documented health benefits, our Australian Crystallized Ginger makes every day special!
