Ginger pieces - candied

If you like the combination of spicy and sweet, candied ginger is a good choice. Our ginger pieces are characterized by their high quality and the perfect balance between sweetness and spiciness. They are made from selected, spicy ginger, which is gently candied to preserve its intense flavor. The bite-sized pieces provide a unique taste experience.

Candied ginger is boiled in sugar and then dried, giving it a sweet and spicy, almost candy-like texture. Pickled ginger, often known as gari, is pickled in a vinegar solution and has a much sharper, sour taste. Candied ginger is better suited to sweet dishes and snacks, while pickled ginger is often used in Japanese cuisine, particularly as a garnish for sushi.

The great thing is that candied ginger is very versatile. You can enjoy it as a snack at any time or use it as a natural ingredient in desserts, pastries and salads. It is also ideal for refining teas, cocktails or as a crunchy garnish on cakes and muffins. The intense flavor adds variety to many recipes and gives them a special touch.

Candied ginger can be used as a sugar substitute in certain dishes, especially if you want to add a spicy kick. Chop it finely and add it to recipes such as sauces or baked goods where its sweetness and spiciness come into their own. Note, however, that it changes the flavor of the dish and is not suitable as a direct substitute for sugar in all recipes.

Candied ginger is also perfect as a topping for chocolate cake or brownies. Another option is to dip candied ginger pieces in melted chocolate and then leave to harden on baking paper - this creates delicious chocolate ginger snacks that also make great gifts.

Candied ginger contains sugar, which means it can raise blood sugar levels. For people who need to monitor their sugar intake, for example diabetics, it is important to enjoy candied ginger in moderation. Ginger itself has some positive properties for blood sugar.
