ginger

nutrient value

Ginger could very well be the ugliest ingredient in nudies. Even more reason to love it, we say. Ginger doesn’t try to be something it’s not – ginger, like nudies, is nude, naked, as nature intended. Underneath that weird, knobbly exterior are some very important nutrients: ginger contains vitamin E, B6, iron, magnesium, potassium and selenium.

magical facts

Historically, ginger has a long tradition in ancient cultures of being very effective in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal disturbances. (We like to think of ginger as the Gastrointestinal Cop. When you’ve got a disturbance in the neighbourhood late at night, trust ginger to sort it out).

In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative (a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) and an anti-spasmotic (relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract). Ginger, we love you! We think ginger should be compulsory food for everyone who has to use crowded lifts in the course of their working day. It would make the world a happier place.
