Fresh Jamaican Ginger Root

Bold, Aromatic Ginger for Caribbean Cooking

Fresh Jamaican ginger root brings a warm, peppery bite and bright citrusy aroma to drinks, marinades, curries, and baked goods. Grate a little into a pot of sorrel or slice it into tea, and its fragrance quickly fills the kitchen.

Ways to Use Fresh Ginger

• Grate into jerk marinades, curries, stir-fries, and sauces
• Slice and steep for ginger tea or add to sorrel and other drinks
• Blend into juices, smoothies, and seasoning pastes
• Use in cakes, cookies, chutneys, and preserves

Preparation and Storage

Scrub the root well before use. Peel thinly with a spoon or vegetable peeler if desired, then slice, grate, mince, or crush according to your recipe. Refrigerate in a dry, breathable container for short-term storage, or freeze whole pieces for longer storage and grate them while frozen.

Fresh roots naturally vary in size, shape, and skin color. Available in 1/4 lb, 1 lb, and 5 lb options.
