Our organic ginger is harvested in India. Ginger root powder is prepared from the rhizome Zingiber officinale. The rhizomes are plucked from the ground and washed. The green ginger is soaked and then the skin is carefully scraped off. After its washed again, the ginger is dried in the sun on bamboo mats for 3-4 days and then milled into a fine powder. The yield of dry ginger is 15-25 percent of the fresh ginger depending upon the variety and location where the crop is grown.
