Closely related to cardamom and turmeric, ginger root is crowned by clusters of jewel-coloured flowers and green leaves. At Ffern, we source our ginger root in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, where it is extracted using the CO2 process. The unassuming, knobbled root is packed with essential oils that have an earthy, hot aroma. Ginger has long been prized in traditional medicines, particularly as an aid for digestion.
