Questions & Answers

I'm unable to find nutrition information on the label - Can you tell me how much sugar is in a ?

According to the bag, this product contains one ounce of servings, but if it is used in baking or other food preparations, you would consume significantly less of it. There are 25 grams of carbs, as well as 23 grams of sugar in 1 ounce. This may be of some assistance. You won't regret trying them. The majority of the time, I use it for stomach upsets.

It has been found that some crystellized gingers contain a high lead content. The ginger has been tested, has it not?

We are FDA approved, yes. Hello, we are FDA approved, yes, all products are. If you place an order, we can also send you a spec sheet.

Can you tell me if these ginger chunks are slices?

There are ginger slices on the table, sorry.

Despite my repeated inquiries, no one has ever replied to my question about where this product comes from. I guess it must be contaminating stuff that's Chinese then?

The question is an excellent one. In an article published in the Los Angeles Times on Oct 14, 2015, it was reported that Chinese ginger contained high levels of illegal pesticide residues.

There is a cure for acid reflux in 5 pounds of Crystalized Ginger! There is another brand I usually buy, but it is no longer available In epidemics, Corona is the most common
4/5

The cost of this one is three dollars more, though it is a better substitute. Approximately 95% of the chunks and slices of ginger in this five-pound bag are quite good The meat has a tender, chewy texture. It is still possible to eat some of the thinnest ones, though they are harder. A very thick and sturdy bag was included with it with a sealable top. Thank you so much. I'm really happy with it. Quite a bit of sulphur dioxide is present in it, but I don't mind it. It is grown in Thailand. My purchase would definitely happen again should I be able to get this brand from this vendor. My favorite snack after a meal is a couple slices of bread. The zantac I take for severe acid reflux disease has been on my prescription list for nearly 30 years. During hundreds of nights of sleep, I sat up to keep stomach acid from rising. The acid backed up into my esophagus even when I was just bending over. Reflux was the center of my life as well as its effects on various The ginger cure sounds like an old wives tale to me or a wishful internet fantasy. I wish I would have known that ginger is not a myth. It's believed that crystalized ginger chunks or fresh ginger slices stimulate the production of bile, which gets rid of excess acid. I really believe it When I first discovered it, with my cynicism I would have thought it was a miracle drug.
Three decades of Prilosec and Zantac in the mornings and a little ginger in the afternoon kept it under control, but I just had to eat ginger to keep it under control. I could have saved a lot of money and poor health if I had done this. It has changed my life since I found crystallized ginger in October last year. I've never had to take zantac since then.

Slices of a nugget are not nuggets
3/5

There were no nuggets in my order. The slices should have looked like this. I will place an order like I've done before. They can no longer be returned, the warning states. The item you're ordering is not the one you need. The misrepresentation continues! It's a fraud! DISAPPOINTED in every sense of the word!.

It was awful to switch brands and bait to such a horrible brand
3/5

I recently ordered Crystallized Ginger by D'Allesandro, a 5 LB bag, and it was awesome. This is the second time I've said this When I ordered the same product this week, I got a product from the "Candy Store". * This product has little ginger taste and a lot of I received an item in which the bag had not been sealed and was open at the top when I received it. As a result, I will throw this.

I wouldn't call it great, but I wouldn't call it terrible either
3/5

This is an acceptable price for 5 lbs of beef. The pros are You will get a strong ginger flavor from these, so if you like a spicy taste, you will like them. The price is also affordable. Having a weight of 4 lbs means it costs about half what you might pay for a small 6 oz packet at the supermarket. The problem is. The cons are There's no great quality to be found here. At best, I'd say it's marginal. All of the slices seem to be a bit dried out, but some of them seem more so. You can mostly bend the slices, but they just snap when bent. Some of the slices are very fibrous as well. In a few cases, they were so severe that one could only chew them so as to get the flavor and spit the stringy residue out afterwards. The best ones I've found do not contain sulfite preservatives, but it's hard to find them. Is it likely I would repurchase these? These are maybe OK as snacks, but might work well in a curry (if fresh ginger isn't available) or if you don't care about the texture and are just interested in ginger's purported health benefits, then maybe. Anyhow, I might experiment with other brands before returning to this one, even if their cost is a bit higher, just to see how they compare to this one.

I love the taste of spicy food! You can rest assured that I'll be purchasing this brand again in the future
5/5

Several reviews stated that the fruit was diced, but my fruit is sliced. Ginger is fresh to make it tender and have that taste that ginger fans enjoy. Even though the slices have sugar on them, they're not heavily coated, which ensures that they are healthier to consume and that I'm not required to shake excess sugar off after eating. There are two photos so that you can see how big the bag is in relation to a paper towel roll and how big the ginger is. You can try this if you are looking for ginger for digestion or for snacking -- it is the best I have ever had.

My Plant Paradox diet was spoiled with this tasty cheat
5/5

Since the turn of the century, I have been enjoying a bite of this delicious snack once a day with raw vegetables, nuts, and a glass of red wine in the afternoon. I have been in the industry for five Even though it is not part of my eating plan, I use it in small enough amounts that it does not have any negative effect. The PP way of eating has helped me lose 90 pounds, reverse kidney disease and insulin resistance, and I continue to do so. While my body cannot handle large amounts of sulfur dioxide and sugar in this product, it is able to handle There is one bag that lasts four days I have been with the company for five.

Honestly, I was not ready for so much Following the receipt of my own, I read some of these reviews again and giggled
3/5

I agree that you can soak them for 10 minutes to get rid of the enormous amount of sugar on them. The ginger is embedded with so much toxic material that there is no way to get most of it off by rubbing. You're making yourself a diabetic if you eat these. The friend of the hypoglycemic. My starting with the non-traditional method may have something to do with it These are sugared (noncrystallized as they like to say) versions. The taste of those is actually gingery. There is a hint of ginger flavor in these candies. This is probably why I see reviews saying they taste awful for the ones that aren't crystallized. It's not candy, so they don't count. Also, I really like ginger, which is the flavor these end up having after they have been soaked. This is a very good product at a very good price. In addition, I broke the bag into thirds and two were frozen. As a result, I am quite set for.
