I started using this to make concentrated ginger tea for a friend with cancer, then kept making it because it's so popular among my friends and family with serious GI problems (reflux disease, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia, celiac/sprue, colon cancer). I soften a half cup of this ginger in hot water, add a couple cups of hot water, pulverize it with a stick blender, add more hot water, pulverize it some more, do it again, then strain equal parts into two quart jars, top them off with water, and refrigerate. Three tablespoons of the concentrate with a teaspoon or so of honey makes a tangy cup of tea that settles and sooths the stomach. Using Manuka honey increases the health benefits (you can reasearch this). I used to soak the ginger overnight, but once it soaks up the water and rehydrates, it doesn't want to release the liquid and the resulting tea wasn't as popular.

My favorite for preventative medicine and kicking anything with allergies, sinus and chest related sickness. Since having kids this is a must in my routine!

Both my husband and I drink a LOT of ginger tea so this bag is perfect for us. My doctor told me that ginger is great for a variety of health benefits, especially for inflammation. Since drinking ginger tea daily my husbands back pain (he gets swelling in the lower back) has definitely gotten better. When it comes to pain relief we prefer to go with a more natural approach and this ginger helps us do that.

This has the familiar sting and burn of fresh ginger, but the overall taste is woodsy, more like the taste of the skin than the inside of the ginger. Maybe I'm just too used to fresh ginger and this is normal for dried ginger.

Dried chunks are easily ground in coffee grinder—which releases even more flavor so can use less in my hot cider and turmeric. Can decrease to 1/4 tsp of the 1tsp ground.) Also, nothing to throw away as the ground is fine enough to use directly without straining.

I’m very happy to review this product because it surpassed my expectations. Please try it’s distinctive flavor.
