Ginger root has been used for centuries in cooking and medicine, as it tones up the body and helps overcome physical and mental fatigue.
In addition, it facilitates digestion and improves appetite, which is necessary for normal functioning throughout the day.
Ginger contains many useful minerals: magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, iron, zinc, potassium, chromium, manganese, silicon, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, and K, fatty acids, as well as asparagine and glutamic acid. The basis of ginger's burning flavor is a unique resinous substance called gingerol.
