Ginger is one of the "root" spices and one of the "heat" spices. If taken in small doses it can "cleanse the colon and stimulate circulation." Chef Merito's ginger primarily comes from China or Australia. Of course it is the key ingredient in gingerbread and used extensively in preparing Chinese and curry dishes. Not everyone likes ginger, so use it carefully.
