Dehydrated ginger
🌿 Dehydrated ginger stands out for its intense aromatic profile and soft texture. Powerful and expressive, it is ideal for infusion, cooking, or direct consumption in small amounts.
🌿 Dehydrated ginger: intense aroma and everyday use
Dehydrated ginger is known for its bold, spicy character. The dehydration process removes around 70 % of the natural water content, concentrating aromas while preserving the original identity of the ginger.
Compared to fresh ginger, the dehydrated version offers easier handling and longer shelf life, while maintaining a strong and distinctive flavour.
Unlike very dry products, this ginger keeps a soft texture, making it pleasant to consume and easy to dose depending on use.
Its expressive profile makes it particularly appreciated for infusions and culinary preparations, where a small quantity is enough to bring intensity.
