About Peruvian Ginger and all its goodness

Irishmade Peruvian Ginger Goodies

Peruvian ginger holds far more nutrients than Chinese ginger, which is what you predominantly find here in the Irish supermarkets. Distinguished due to the large root, or rhizome. A rhizome is a horizontal underground plant stem capable of producing the shoot and root systems of a new plant.

Find out how Peruvian ginger is three times more concentrated with ginger goodness and higher concentrations of gingerol and shogaol. The Peruvian ginger holds greater nutritional benefits for the body to aid in your immune system and other ailments. Check my reviews below, customers find that ginger eases any acid reflux and heartburn, to be noted consult doctor if you are on any medication for you bloods.

I will explore all things ginger, from my artisan ginger products, health benefits, ginger recipes and how my products are making many ginger crazed people happy.

About My Crystallised Ginger

So traditionally crystallised ginger is made using young ginger root, as the root is far softer and less fibrous, making it easier to work with. The cons of this is that the nutrients are less developed, meaning lower levels of iron and Vitamin C, which ginger is known to have high quantities of.

As the root grows naturally the nu
trient content becomes more denser, getting boost of iron and Vitamin C.

The variety grown in Peru is an organic criollo variety, which is known to have a bolder taste and more gingerol present. Gingerol being what makes the ginger spicer and is an essential oil, which gives it the properties of being antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. So since my ginger has higher spice levels it means my crystallised ginger packs a punch. So a little bit goes a long way.

I learnt more about the different gingers sourced from countries such as China, Australia and Peru. I focus on using organic Peruvian ginger for its sustainable agricultural approaches as well as its unique level of spice.

About Me

Hello, and welcome to my new culinary discovery and creation of ginger inspired goodies. I am Áine, originally from Dublin and living here in Kerry.

Back in 2016, I was living in Canada and I was looking for a sweet treat in the supermarket. That is when I saw the crystallised ginger on the supermarket shelf calling out to me. That is when I got the idea to create this addictive ginger treat myself. Finding inspiration and creativity in items sitting on supermarket shelves became a regular occurrence for me. I gifted my new creations to friends and family and my interest in creating my ginger treats flew from there.

All design work you see I created, I previously worked as a Graphic Designer and love being able to develop designs at my own pace. I do love food design and packaging, it really is telling a full story and connect with customers as well.
