WHY WE LOVE GINGER
Ginger is one of those ingredients that smacks out a punch every time!
It’s a bit like chilli or wasabi…the more you have it, the more you want that ginger punch (in a good way!).
Here at Love Food, we use ginger all the time in our cooking, especially in our LOVE FOOD SOUP RANGE.
And Ginger is so versatile in its uses - in juices, in soups. in stir-fry…in so many things.
Like all good things that come in and out and back in on trend, Ginger has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries and is known for its many health benefits, including:
