The Ginger Hype
Native to Southeast Asia, it is a popular ingredient used in many cuisines and are also widely used for medicinal purposes. It can be consumed fresh, powdered, dried as a spice, in oil form, or as juice.
All that hype about ginger being an amazing digestive aid, is in fact, worthy of all the attention it gets!
