What is Organic Ginger Powder?
Organic Ginger Powder (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is milled from sun-dried or freeze-dried organic ginger rhizomes. Custom processing preserves >85% heat-sensitive compounds (gingerols, shogaols) and offers 10+ granulation/functionality options for targeted applications.
