This knobbly root is a veritable wonder-food – such are its time-proven health benefits. The ‘root’ is more accurately the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale which has been a popular spice and herbal medicine for many thousands of years. It is most notable for its digestion-friendly attributes and anti-inflammatory properties, but ginger is not simply utilised medicinally of course.

Whether it be used to add heat and spice to savoury dishes, or fragrant pungency to sweets and desserts – ginger is a firm consumer favourite. Weifang is the most popular brand and is sourced from China year-round to bring this vibrant condiment to the U.A.E.
