About ginger

Ginger is a powerful spice that’s known to treat everything from cancer to migraines and is anti-inflammatory. It’s also antiviral, anti-fungal, and anti-toxic. Did you know it has over a dozen anti-viral compounds that help ward off and treat colds and flu?

It’s recommended as a treatment for nausea and helps with digestion.

When you buy fresh ginger make sure it’s firm and has smooth skin. Don’t buy it if it has wrinkled skin, soft spots, or mold.
