Dried crystallized ginger is fresh ginger root that has been cooked in sugar syrup and then coated in sugar to create a sweet, spicy, and chewy treat. This form of ginger retains its distinct sharp, peppery flavor while offering a more palatable sweetness, making it popular in both cooking and as a snack. Rich in antioxidants, dried crystallized ginger is also known for its digestive benefits, often used to soothe nausea and reduce inflammation. It’s commonly enjoyed on its own, added to baked goods, or used to enhance the flavor of teas and savory dishes.
