Ginger rich in nutrients

The typical scent of ginger is caused by the large amount of essential oils in the root. But the sharp taste comes from oleoresin, a resinous substance. In addition, ginger is rich in Vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, and B6. It also contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Ginger also contains about 60% starch and a lot of fiber.

Ginger good for digestion

Ginger has a positive effect on the gastric mucosa, reducing the risk of gastric ulcers. It also has an anti-infective effect on the intestines and improves digestion. Ginger is therefore often used in products for gastric ulcers.

In addition to being good for digestion, ginger is also often used for joint problems. It has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable to give for conditions such as arthritis.
