Ginger – Crystallized (Candied)
(Zingiber officinale)
Crystallized ginger — also known as candied ginger — is fresh ginger root that has been slowly cooked in sugar syrup and then rolled in coarse sugar to create a chewy, intensely flavored confection that balances the bold, spicy heat of ginger with a satisfying sweetness. It is one of the most versatile and beloved ginger preparations in the culinary world, equally at home as a standalone snack, a baking ingredient, or a sophisticated garnish.
Ready to use straight from the bag — no preparation necessary. To rehydrate for cooking, pour boiling water over the ginger pieces and allow to sit for 5–10 minutes, then drain.
