Ginger

🌱 Fresh Ginger (Adrak)

Our Fresh Organic Ginger is not a uniform, industrial product - it is a season-led farm ingredient 🌿 that changes character with geography. From the juicy, tender rhizomes of Solan (Himachal Pradesh) during the monsoons to the intensely aromatic, sharper ginger from Sangli (Maharashtra) in winter, we bring you ginger the way nature intends, fresh, chemical-free, and full of vitality.

📖 Detailed Narrative

Ginger is one of the most widely used roots in Indian kitchens and traditional food wisdom, yet its flavor, pungency, and juiciness vary dramatically by soil and climate.

Monsoon to Early Winter (July-December): Solan, Himachal Pradesh

• 🌧️ Grown in cool hill soils with consistent rainfall
• 🍃 Larger, plumper fingers with high moisture content
• Mild heat, noticeably juicy when crushed
• Perfect for fresh chutneys, juices, kadha, marinades, and vegetable cooking

Late Winter onwards (January-June): Sangli, Maharashtra

• ☀️ Warmer, drier climate yields smaller, denser roots
• 🌿 Higher concentration of essential oils
• Stronger aroma, sharper lingering pungency
• Excellent for tea, decoctions, masalas, fermentation, and tonics

👉 We stay with the same trusted farmer in Solan till December, and only then shift sourcing, ensuring continuity, transparency, and peak freshness rather than year-round compromise.

📌 Fun / Interesting Fact

Juicier hill ginger is traditionally preferred for fresh consumption, while stronger plains ginger is chosen for drying, powdering, and long-term storage - a distinction preserved in traditional markets but often lost in industrial supply chains.

⚠️ Consumption Note

Ginger is naturally warming. Moderate consumption is recommended for those with heat sensitivity or acidity issues.
