Ginger is a knobby rhizome with a spicy aroma and warming flavor. It is widely used fresh, dried, powdered, candied, or extracted in teas, capsules, tinctures, syrups, and food blends. In topical products, ginger may be included for its warming sensory profile and its connection to traditional comfort routines.
