Pickled Ginger Root Appetizer

Pickled Ginger Root with Lime and Sprinkle of Salt - appetizer before a meal to stimulate digestive fire

Ginger Root and/or Ginger Powder is considered the universal medicine. in Ayurveda - the science of knowledge and life and sister science of yoga. The two practices of mind, body, spirit and food work well together for a full experience of health and wellness. Ginger is pungent, heating, and invigorating for the digestion and circulation in your body. Modern medicine confirms the benefits of ginger to reduce inflammation, support immunity and maintain good digestion. Ginger Root and Ginger Powder is a staple in my kitchen for cooking dishes and teas. I highly recommend you stock up and enjoy ‘ginger’ daily - grated or sliced.

  Genia’s Spoon Me Tips:

  Serving Pickled Ginger Root is a great digestive aid. The stimulation once you place in your mouth and swallow will fire up your digestion - agni (digestive fire) before a meal so you will feel less toxic and bloated from undigested food in your body. This is great to serve before big holiday meal.

  Much Gut Love,
