Tasting Note & Distinctive Features
Gingerol, the main bioactive compound in ginger, is a powerful antioxidant that also has anti-inflammatory properties. This compound can reduce oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals in the body. Ginger may help improve post-surgical and chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. This spice plays a great role in weight loss and in maintaining the body mass index (BMI) within normal limits. It is a great spice to control diabetes and high cholesterol. Gingerol can help reduce the risk of infections by inhibiting the growth of many different types of bacteria. It has the herbal effect of relieving pain, especially in menstruating women and osteoarthritis patients. Ginger speeds up the emptying of the stomach and thus reduces chronic indigestion with recurring pain and discomfort in the upper part of the stomach.
