Pain relief

Fresh ginger boasts a potent compound called gingerol which includes antioxidant properties and reduces inflammatory enzymes. As a result, ginger is beneficial for inflammatory-related conditions and pain relief, specifically menstrual cramps and also arthritis-based conditions.

Improves blood sugar regulation

Gingerol could also explain ginger’s role in keeping blood sugar levels steady. Doing the latter is key to controlling the long-term health effects of Type 2 diabetes. The ginger reduces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and so it helps with glucose (sugar) metabolism.

Reduces nausea

Eating fresh ginger can help with various forms of nausea, however, including morning sickness, motion sickness and the side effects of some chemotherapy regimens.

From warming curry to zippy dressings to baked goods, ginger livens up any recipe. Fresh ginger is a great way to add fresh flavor to a variety of meals and recipes. It’s ultra versatile: use in soups, dressings, tea, desserts, and more. Try it in a DIY herbal tea, mixed with honey and lemon, or infused into asimple syrup for cocktails. Make it into a stir fry or fried rice or a 20 minute chickpea curry. You can even put it into an apple crisp, where it adds big, cozy flavor. Once peeled and grated, ginger can easily be thrown into various sauces, glazes, and marinades to brighten up the dish.
