April 25, 2022 Ingredient Spotlight: Ginger Share on: We can’t but love this flavorful and benefit-rich nutrient. As our Kyäni English friends might say, let’s “ginger up” this weekly feature with this popular favorite! What is Ginger? Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a well-known digestive aid that is used to flavor food and for its health benefits. The ginger plant is in the same family as other familiar spices, cardamom and turmeric. This perennial plant with grass-like leaves is native to Asia and has been used for thousands of years for its health properties and spicy aroma. From India and China to the Roman Empire, it has been a valued commodity. It even made its way to medieval England, where the popular gingerbread man treat emerged around the 16th Century. Ginger Benefits Ginger has powerful digestive benefits. It has been shown to support normal digestion through the stimulation of digestive enzymes and supports an unsettled stomach due to its ability to support gastric motility – or in simpler terms, the process of food traveling through the digestive tract. Beyond its gut health benefits, ginger may also help support healthy blood glucose levels. The active components of ginger are antioxidants, such as gingerol and gingerdione, which help maintain a healthy inflammatory response.
