Candy Crystallized Ginger Organic, 4 Ounce

love these. problem is i could happily eat the whole box!

Excellent product!

Strongly flavored, but as effective as taking a tums

I'm new to crystallized ginger & this was the first brand and kind I tried. I've since tried Reed's Crystallized Ginger Candy, 3.5-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) , and though it's also quite good (nice and hot), I prefer this one. Why? The pieces are moist and tender (no stringy/fibrous strands) and the flavor's more multi-dimensional, at least to my palate. As others have mentioned, ginger's great for nausea, dizzyness, and has even helped some people overcome vertigo attacks. I use it for its mildly stimulating effect on the brain; it's a nice pick-me-up and I like the warming sensation it produces all over. Ginger's also a potent anti-inflammatory and has slight bloodthinning effects. I REALLY like this brand & will be ordering more; believe me, you need more than just one 4 ounce box; like other reviewers have stated, this stuff's ADDICTIVE. Just keep in mind that "crystallized" means it's completely ENCRUSTED in Cane Sugar. If you're not sugar phobic, this is most highly recommended! Update 6/3/13: One BIG advantage of this: there are only TWO ingredients: Organic Ginger and Organic Sugar. Yum! NO preservatives, no sulfur dioxide. Eat happy!

As a first time buyer of crystallized ginger, I went with what I presumed was the best brand and as far as taste is concerned, wasn't disappointed. If that's all there was to it, I'd buy nothing but Ginger People brand. (Incidentally, I'm using it to help with my sciatica after reading a lot about the health benefits of ginger.) Unfortunately there's another factor. The box says serving size 8 pieces, servings per container 4. That means there should be 32 pieces in the box, give or take a couple. With the three boxes I have used so far out of six ordered, I have found this NOT to be the case. One box held only 19 pieces; the other two were 22 and 24 pieces. I know, because I count out the 8 pieces I am supposed to eat per day and set them aside. So Ginger People ranks very high for me on taste, but if value for your dollar concerns you as it does me, you should take into account that you may (your experience may be different from mine) be paying more per yummy piece than you thought you were. I have since ordered and received from Amazon the Dried Crystallized Ginger, 2.5Lb sold by Green Bulk (now there's an appetizing name!). It's a formidable foil bag, about 13" tall and 7" wide. It does weigh 2.5 lbs, and makes no claim on how many pieces it contains. I bought the chips, which look like someone stepped on Ginger People's chunks and flattened them to about 1/8" thick. The taste is a little different from GP's, but I think it's very tasty and a little less coated with sugar, which I prefer. I guess I was expecting something like rawhide for the price, but the chips are tender and hot-sweet. The source is Thailand and there is a label saying USDA Organic. GP's source is China, which they brag about as it being "where ginger began." I plan to use ginger indefinitely and I'm a practical person, so it's the bulk version I'll be buying from now on.

Delicious! Best I’ve ever had. Small amount so I dole it out in small amounts. Will buy again.

I love the ginger it has an enough sugar to add a little sweetness to hot tea.

Best crystallized ginger on the market and not from China !
