Organic Ginger

Ginger is the dried knobby shaped root of the perennial herb Zingiber officinale. No one is sure how old Ginger is, or where it came from, since it has never been found growing wild. It was first cultivated by the Chinese and Indians. It was one of the important spices that led to the opening of the spice trade routes. The name Ginger comes from the Sanskrit word "sinabera" meaning "shaped like a horn" because of its resemblance to an antler. The plant grows two to three feet tall. Once the leaves of the plant die, the thick roots, about 6 inches long, are dug up. Ginger has a slightly biting and hot note. Its aroma is rich, sweet, warm, and woody.

ELF organic ginger is grown in the coastal deserts of Peru on a diverse permaculture farm. It is processed under stringent quality control.

ELF provides bulk ginger in tea cut and powdered forms by the pound and in consumer packages in 1 pound bags.
