Dry ginger (Zingiber officinale) is the dried form of fresh ginger root, widely valued for its sharp, spicy flavor and potent aroma. It is produced by peeling and drying fresh ginger rhizomes, concentrating its natural bioactive compounds such as gingerol and shogaol. Dry ginger is a staple ingredient in many traditional kitchens and natural health remedies, prized for its warming properties and digestive benefits.
India is among the top producers and exporters of dry ginger, with major cultivation in states like Kerala, Karnataka, and Himachal Pradesh. The drying process preserves the spice’s essential oils and medicinal qualities, making it a preferred choice for use in spice blends, teas, confectionery, and pharmaceutical formulations worldwide.
