Storage Instructions

• Keep Dry: Store in a cool, dry place as moisture can cause the sugar coating to become sticky.

• Airtight Container: Use an airtight jar or resealable pouch to maintain the chewy texture and prevent the candy from hardening.

• Avoid Heat: Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like kitchen stoves) to preserve the potency of the ginger oils.

Fun Facts

• Ancient Medicine: Ginger has been used as a medicinal herb for over 5,000 years in ancient Indian and Chinese cultures.

• Space Travel: Because it is so effective against motion sickness, NASA has actually used ginger to help astronauts deal with “space adaptation syndrome.”

• Rhizome, Not Root: While we call it a root, ginger is botanically a “rhizome”—an underground stem that grows horizontally.

• On-the-Go: Keep a few slices in your bag as a natural remedy for travel sickness or indigestion.

• Tea Enhancer: Drop a slice into a hot cup of black or green tea for a spicy-sweet infusion.
