Ginger puree

Ginger puree is a natural ingredient made from fresh ginger root, commonly used in cooking for its unique flavour and health benefits. Ginger itself is a knobby, underground rhizome that is part of the Zingiberaceae family of plants.

To make ginger puree, the ginger root is peeled, crushed, and blended into a smooth paste. This process helps retain the strong, spicy flavour of ginger while making it easier to incorporate into various dishes. Some producers may add a preservative to ensure the puree stays fresh for longer.

Ginger puree appears on food labels as a flavouring agent, adding a warm, zesty taste to a wide range of foods and beverages. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine, marinades, salad dressings, and baked goods like gingerbread and cakes. Its aromatic properties also make it a popular choice in teas and certain cocktails.
