ABOUT GINGER

History

Ginger was transported to Australia on the first fleet. The spice was in great demand in Britain and was considered a potential economic crop for the new colony.

It would take about another 150 years before it was grown commercially.

Using ginger

Ginger is one of the most delicious spices on the planet. Adaptable and ever changing, Australian Fresh Ginger is available twelve months of the year for your enjoyment.

Here is some helpful information about buying, storing and using fresh ginger.

Health benefits

Ginger has a very long history of use in various forms of traditional and alternative medicine with incredible antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties.

Using ginger can have powerful benefits for both your body and brain.
