Shan - Ginger Paste (Ground Ginger), 700g (24.69oz)

i bought this product because i am hooked on the video series Buddah's Wisdom on cable tv and decided to loosely try their philosophy of eating to live rather than living to eat-the Tibetan and many other far east monks commonly live to be 100 and over as a norm due to their extensive knowledge and discipline with food and beverages - they commonly use ginger tea as a medicine for a wide assortment of preventative medical uses associated with the liver and immunity - based in my low opinion of gingerbread i did not expect a whole lot from making and drinking ginger tea- i was wrong- this stuff is fantastic- it has a robust flavor and does not take much to make a large cup of hot tea- i had to look it up online as to how to prepare it - they made it sound so complicated with simmering for 10 minutes then steeping and straining etc- it sounded like more trouble than is is worth so i decided to try it my way and it turns out to be perfect for my own taste- one teaspoon of the ginger paste in a cup of water heated for 2 minutes in a microwave, then add 2 tsp of honey and it is good to go-strength can be adjusted by adding more paste as desired- i have a feeling this product will now be a staple in my fridge - it does require refrigeration after opening- the quality is superb and well worth the money if you want a good cup of ginger tea---

Not unlike "busy people garlic," "busy people ginger" is a phenomenal addition to our cupboard insofar as reducing prep time for cooking. We cook 100% of what we eat, so a not small amount of time is spent in the kitchen each day. This has taken so much of my prep work off the table without having to sacrifice freshness and ingredient quality. I also like that it reduces waste by not making me "on the clock" to work my way through fresh ginger before it spoils.
