Production & Sourcing
Dried Crystallized Ginger Chunks start with fresh ginger roots that are peeled, sliced into chunks, and blanched to soften. These ginger pieces are then steeped in a sugar syrup, allowing them to absorb the sweetness while preserving the spicy ginger flavor. After soaking, they’re drained and left to dry, usually by air-drying or using a low-heat dehydration process.
The sugar coating on the surface crystallizes as they dry, creating the sweet, chewy, and slightly spicy ginger chunks, ready for use in various culinary and confectionery applications.

Golden brown with a translucent appearance due to the sugar coating. The interior maintains a pale yellow color of the ginger flesh.
Rich in antioxidants, gingerols, and essential nutrients. Contains natural compounds with potential health benefits, including aiding digestion and reducing nausea.
The sugar coating helps preserve the moisture within the ginger while binding the sugar crystals to the surface, preventing excessive moisture loss and maintaining a chewy texture.

The sweet crystallized exterior contrasts with the warm, spicy flavor of the ginger, creating a well-balanced sweet-spicy profile.
