Dry Ginger 50gm

Dry Ginger is made from mature ginger rhizomes that are cleaned and dried. Drying gives ginger a stronger, warmer and more concentrated aroma and flavour compared with fresh ginger.

It is traditionally used in Indian cooking, spice blends, beverages and various traditional recipes.

Our Dry Ginger is sourced through various farming families in India, depending on seasonal crop availability.

Our Sourcing & Farming Approach

Different crops require different soil, climate and growing conditions. Therefore, our spices may come from different farming families and regions across India.

We focus on traditional/indigenous agricultural practices and retain the natural character of the product. We do not intentionally adulterate our products.

The actual farmer/source may vary from batch to batch depending on crop availability.

We do not represent the product as certified organic unless the applicable certification is available.

Why Can Storage Pests Appear?

Dry Ginger is a natural agricultural product. Under warm and humid storage conditions, occasional storage insects or pests may appear.

Storage pests can sometimes be present in agricultural products before they become visible and may develop during storage.

The presence of an occasional storage insect does not automatically mean that the product has been adulterated.

We prefer natural handling and storage practices rather than relying on chemical pest-control treatments to prevent every possible storage insect. Therefore, occasional storage pests can occur in naturally handled agricultural products.

How to Store Dry Ginger

For better storage after receiving the product:

• Keep it in a clean, completely dry, airtight container.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Protect from humidity and moisture.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Always use clean, dry hands or a dry spoon.
• Check periodically, particularly during warm and humid weather.
• Clean and completely dry the container before storing a fresh batch.

About Fungus & White Worms

Exposure to moisture or unsuitable storage conditions can result in fungal growth/mould or insect larvae (white worms).

These are different from occasional storage insects.

We generally do not replace Dry Ginger for normal natural variation or occasional storage insects.

However, if the product shows visible fungus/mould, white worms/larvae or significant deterioration, please contact us with clear photographs and your order details so that we can review the issue.

Common Uses

Dry Ginger can be used for:

• Masala chai
• Ginger tea
• Spice blends
• Curry and gravy preparations
• Sambar and rasam
• Dal preparations
• Pickles
• Chutneys
• Traditional sweets and desserts
• Ginger-based spice preparations

It can be used whole, crushed or powdered, depending on the recipe.

How to Use

Whole Dry Ginger can be crushed or grated before use. It can also be ground into powder and added to spice blends, beverages and cooking preparations.

Because dried ginger has a concentrated flavour, use according to the recipe and taste.

Natural Variation

As a natural agricultural product, Dry Ginger may naturally vary in:

• Size
• Shape
• Colour
• Texture
• Aroma
• Pungency
• Moisture level

These variations can occur between crops and batches and do not necessarily indicate a quality problem.
