Ginger People Ginger Juice - 5 fl oz

Great stuff! Made a really quick delicious ginger syrup for summer cocktails.

Strong vital flavor - works great in making cure and defense tonics

I have been buying fresh ginger at a big “international” grocery store to make hot ginger “tea” (nothing but filtered water with raw chopped ginger steeped for an hour + organic NOW stevia powder—no actual tea leaves etc) for six years straight. It took a while, but it brought down my serum inflammatory markers and cut my pain level by half. But the fresh ginger wasn’t organic and that which was available in other stores was puny and often too dried out to even yield any flavor. I needed to eliminate as much glyphosate as possible. Then I saw this. Who knew? I was wary of buying the 32oz size of this product because of some negative reviews, so ordered a single 5oz glass bottle instead to try. I left it unopened on the counter for five days and it separated—clear on top, thick ginger colored stuff halfway down. Finally decided to add some to my water kefir to see if I could achieve anything approaching commercial ginger ale. (Even 0.5 lb of grated very fresh ginger in 48 oz lacked the longed-for bite.) I think what most people don’t realize is that ANY ginger tastes hotter/spicier when WARM. In a cold drink or salad it loses something. I don’t think I would substitute this for fresh grated or juiced ginger in say, salad dressing or fermented veggies. But it’s a very good substitute for my steeped ginger hot drink in the morning, and very fast. It does lack a bit of the bite I was looking for to magically transform my water kefir into Canada Dry, but not by much! Re the “lumpy” product pics that one person posted, I have to share what my son (a pastry chef in a VERY high end restaurant) said about this. He saw the tiny bit left in my 5oz bottle and asked where I’d gotten it? “Where else—Amazon.” He said they buy it for use in the restaurant. My eyebrows went up because the menu doesn’t seem to have anything requiring ginger in any real quantity. He said he uses it. “For what? I don’t see your customer base paying $18 for gingerbread!” Silly me. He makes ginger sorbet and likes this because it makes a nicely gingery ice onto which he grates a bit of fresh, etc etc. (I’m sworn to secrecy for the rest.) If he made it with 100% fresh, it would be a one-note dessert and awful. Overpowering. Its lack of fibers is a big plus. That it separates and can be lumpy didn’t matter at all he said, anymore than steaks being sold raw at the grocery store matter. “It’s an INGREDIENT, not a finished product,” he said, which is a good point. So don’t expect a 1:1 equivalent, or for it to be smooth all the time. It’s unrealistic. I’m ordering the 32oz bottle. Because the larger size is in plastic, I might transfer it to glass, but I kinda think it’s going to be gone too quickly for me to be concerned.....

Great stuff
