McCormick® Ground Ginger, 1.5 oz

Ginger is a rhizome, a knobby root-like bulb that grows underground. McCormick® hand-picks its ginger for sweet and zesty flavor - perfect for sweet desserts, savory dishes and especially holiday recipes. Ginger was one of the first spices brought from Asia to the Western world by the spice caravans. Thanks to its warm, spicy flavor, it's enjoyed all over the world. Holiday desserts like spice cakes, pumpkin pie and gingerbread depend on its spicy warmth. It has natural affinity with fruit, vegetables and meat, making it the perfect go-to for spicing up a glaze for salmon, meatballs or carrots, or the syrup for poached fruit. Essential to the Asian kitchen, ginger is used in stir-fries, soups, curries, stews, chai tea and spice blends.
