I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

What do you need ground ginger for and how do you use it
What makes Sri Lankan Ginger better than other gingers
Facts about our whole ground ginger power
Ginger is an essential ingredient in many recipes, cultures, and cuisines. It has been used across Asia for thousands of years in countries such as China, Japan, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Korea, Vietnam, and more. In American or European cookery, many of us were first introduced to ginger powder in cakes, pumpkin pie, and other holiday recipes. Its use in both classic and modern baking, in our opinion, makes it a kitchen staple, just like salt, pepper, or ground cinnamon.
So, how do you use powdered ginger? Well, you use it just like you use any other ground spice. Add a teaspoon, tablespoon, or whatever your recipe calls for. Some people use it to make ginger tea by steeping with water and straining through a coffee strainer. Others may use it to make ginger salves, scrubs, and a host of other products. How to use ginger powder and how much to use will really depend on what you plan on using it for.
Beyond baking, ground ginger is a foundational ingredient in garam masala, tandoori seasoning, Ras el hanout, Chinese master stock, and Jamaican jerk spice blends. Its warm, aromatic quality, with a flavor reminiscent of lemon and lemongrass beneath the heat, makes it just as at home in a savory spice rub as it is in a holiday dessert.
It is quite interesting what makes Sri Lankan ginger better than Chinese ginger or Rangoon ginger. As they say, size matters, and when it comes to Sri Lankan ginger, the small rhizomes of the ginger plant play a direct role in the overall quality. Sri Lankan ginger is primarily found in the wetlands surrounding several areas of Sri Lanka such as Colombo, Kegalle, Gampaha, and other areas. The rhizomes are smaller with white fibrous flesh and have a strong flavor and aroma. These unique characteristics make the Sri Lankan variety of ginger more suitable for ginger beer, gingerbread, toffee, and other confectionery items containing ginger.
Our ground ginger powder is proudly grown in the fertile soils of Sri Lanka, made from the true Sri Lankan ginger variety, botanically known as Zingiber officinale. It contains just one ingredient: ground ginger root, nothing added. For best results, store it tightly sealed in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard or pantry, this keeps its warm, pungent flavor intact for as long as possible. From baked goods and tea to spice rubs, candies, and confectionery, this is a genuinely versatile spice worth keeping stocked in any kitchen.
The Compound Behind Gingers Heat
Ginger's signature pungency comes from gingerol, the same compound responsible for its warm, spicy bite. Ginger has been cultivated and traded for thousands of years, referenced in ancient Chinese and Hindu texts and later written about by the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder, who discussed the spice despite being unaware of its true origin. Ginger was also among the first plants introduced to South America following Spanish colonization, a testament to just how prized and widely traded this root has been throughout history.
Frequently Asked Questions
