Ginger is a centuries-old medicinal ingredient used for digestive issues and detoxing the body. Ginger can help alleviate nausea, boost immunity, relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis, and reduce the risk of cancer. Ginger is an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and copper. This rhizome adds a pleasing heat to any dish, so if you like spicy food, increase the amount of grated ginger.
