Crystallised ginger is such a versatile ingredient that you can add it to cakes, cookies, loaves, pies, the list goes on. It will give your chosen recipe the tastiest, spicy, and pungent flavor which will undoubtedly get your friends’ eyebrows raising! In addition, it’s totally allergen free!

Orrr if you just have a sweet craving, you can eat it raw! Due to it’s strong flavour you won’t need much at all, therefore fills the craving and keeps those calories down.

IMMUNE BOOSTING
These tasty ginger snacks come in very handy during times when your immunity can drop easier. This is due to it’s active compounds that help to clear your sinuses and protect your body from viruses and toxins. In addition studies have shown that ginger has the ability to activate your body’s T-cells, which are a group of white blood cells that destroy tumor cells and viruses. Not bad for a snack!

In addition, studies have shown that ginger is able to bind itself to serotonin receptors, responsible for a person’s mood as well as anxiety levels. Great news if you suffer from roller coaster emotions, low moods or a foggy head.

When you eat a little candied ginger or simply add sliced ginger to your tea, it helps you to feel calm, yet energised and reduces feelings of anxiety. I love how food can have such a positive knock on effect too. If ginger helps us feel less anxious, then it supports us to fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night ensuring you get good quality rest. 

DON’T FORGET THE BY-PRODUCT
This recipe also makes a delicious by-product, ginger syrup, so keep it in the fridge and add a teaspoon or two to your drinks for a refreshing zingy flavour. I added it to my Gingery Kombucha this morning to give it that extra kick!
