Dry ginger, also known as dried ginger or "sonth," is the dehydrated form of fresh ginger root. After being harvested and peeled, the ginger is dried either naturally or through controlled methods to preserve its flavor, aroma, and medicinal properties. Dry ginger has a more concentrated, intense spicy taste compared to fresh ginger and is often used in powdered form as a key ingredient in cooking, baking, and beverages, as well as in traditional medicine. Rich in compounds like gingerol and shogaol, dry ginger is valued for its ability to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and provide relief from nausea and cold symptoms. It is commonly found in spice markets, herbal teas, and as a component of various health supplements.
