Ginger is the rhizome of Zingiber officinale
Ginger is the underground stem of Zingiber officinale, a flowering plant whose root has become one of the most widely used spices in kitchens around the world. Lakpura Organic Ginger Powder is grown by organic farmers working to sustainable practices, without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, then dried and milled in small batches to a fine, even powder. Nothing is added at any stage, so what reaches you is the plain ground root and its warm, gently pungent flavour.
Certified organic. The certification covers how the ginger is grown and how it is handled after harvest, which in practice means no synthetic fertilisers or pesticides in the field and no additives, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours in the pack. You are buying ground ginger and nothing else.

Ginger powder is one of the more adaptable spices to keep within reach, because it belongs in both savoury and sweet cooking. Stir it into curries, marinades, lentils and vegetable dishes for a hint of clean heat, or use it to season roast meats and fish. On the sweet side, it works in biscuits, cakes, spiced breads and puddings, and dissolves readily into hot drinks, milk-based drinks and syrups. Because the powder is fine and concentrated, a small quantity carries a long way; add it early to warm dishes so the flavour has time to open, and taste as you go. Ginger has long been valued in Sri Lankan kitchens and traditional households, and it pairs comfortably with the island's other everyday spices.
Lakpura works with organic growers across Sri Lanka to bring the island's spices to the table in their simplest, most honest form.
