An ancient Chinese and Indian ingredient, ginger is widely used as a spice in ethnic cuisine and also as a powerful force in holistic and natural medicine. India boasts more than half of the world’s ginger production, primarily on the nation’s Malabar Coast, where the warm, moist climate is perfect for cultivation.
Ginger has a warm, peppery taste with a fresh, sharp yet delightfully pungent aroma. Often used in an array of Southeast Asian dishes, ginger’s application is growing across a variety of product categories. It’s also key ingredient in skin care products, beauty products along with teas, salad dressings, beverages, condiments, cold-press juices and a perfect pairing with sushi.
Fresh, dried and powdered ginger
In additional to its exotic taste, ginger boasts amazing health benefits. Its oil is a mild stimulant, which is thought to improve memory and communication, as well as being used to boost the immune system, ward off cold and flu symptoms, and treat respiratory infections, joint inflammation, digestion problems and motion sickness.
The product application of ginger is limitless, ranging from specialty foods, cosmetics, supplements, beauty products, dairy products, baked goods, healthy snacks, savory sauces to medicine.

Fresh basil’s signature peppery flavor aromatically intensifies when used in a heated dish. Basil takes its place as a culinary favorite when a fragrant dash is added to foods and beverages.
Genovese, Thai, sweet, and lemon basil are just a few cultivars of the popular herb, and each has its own unique flavor profile for use in an endless number of spirits, salads, spreads, condiments, craft beers, savory sauces and teas.
Basil is brimming with valuable vitamins, nutrients and minerals, including vitamin K, A and C, copper manganese, folate and iron. These all contribute to the herb’s amazing ability to promote overall health, clear skin blemishes, support eye health and more. It’s no wonder that basil has been branded the “King of Herbs,” living up to its eponymous title, “king.”
