Nuragri-Expo - Natural as Now and Future
Ginger is herb that grows mainly in Asia is used as a spice in cooking. It is also known for its therapeutic qualities. Dry ginger known as Soonth, Sunth or Sukku in India, dried ginger is mostly used in its powdered form which is easy to store having a long shelf life of more than six months.
The pungency or spiciness in ginger is derived from three main compounds - Gingerol, Shogaol and Zingerone. Fresh ginger contains Gingerol as its active component, which, when cooked, loses its pungency and gets transformed to Zingerone. The most pungent form, however, is dried ginger whose active component is Shogaol.
Common Packing For Container Shipment
We pack dry ginger in air tight containers so that they do not lose their aroma as well as natural taste. Our specially cultivated dry ginger are fresh and have a remarkable citrus like taste.
Selection and storage
Good-quality dry ginger should release pleasant, slightly peppery flavor when squeezed between index and thumb fingers. In the store, buy whole ginger roots instead of ginger powder since oftentimes it may contain an adulterated spicy mix.
At home, store ginger in cool, dry, dark place, in airtight containers. This way, they keep well for many months and can be milled using a hand mill whenever required. Ground or powdered ginger should be stored in airtight containers and placed in a refrigerator. Use this spice powder as early as possible since it loses its flavor rather quickly due to evaporation of essential oils.
