Ginger is most definitely the underdog of all spices! It is highly regarded for its
therapeutic medicinal properties
in healing nausea symptoms, digestive issues and gastrointestinal distress. It naturally contains anti-inflammatory compounds, and can also inhibit the growth of particular cancer cells. It is a staple flavor for a number of cuisines, it's a great addition to
vegetable juices
and most importantly, it is impossible to make a good
chai recipe
without it!
