Fermented Ginger

  • Categories nourishingplot
  • Tags Food

Fermented ginger, otherwise known as gari, is a delicious warming digestive aid. Ginger is a prokinetic and fermentation assists in digestion, making this a perfect probiotic food for digestive health.   

The International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition reported a study on three different species of ginger. Free radical scavenging, peroxide removal effects and DPPH, which is a common test for compounds for antioxidant activity. The final outcome was highly functional.

Select fresh, hydrated ginger. If it is sprouting eyes, it has a higher nutritional value. Slice ginger on a mandolin using the thinnest setting possible. Thickly sliced ginger can take years to ferment. Ginger that is young will be more tender. If, while slicing, it is fibrous and feels like you are slicing rope, it will be fibrous and ropelike after fermented also. For five pounds of sliced ginger add three tablespoons mineral salt.

Stir the ginger and salt mixture and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to a few hours. The salt will extract liquid from the ginger. 

The sliced ginger can be stirred every so often to help distribute the salt and assist in the liquid extraction. 

Stir in a half cup local honey. Pack ingredients into a mason jar. Use a kitchen utensil to pack down the ginger, submerging all of the sliced ginger down below the brine. 

Fermented ginger is fantastic with Asian styled food dishes but can be used with any meal.

    This looks great! I’ve tried to make fermented ginger in the past and haven’t been successful. Once the honey is added, how long do you ferment on the counter? Or do you immediately put in fridge?

      It depends on the temperature of your house, thickness of ginger and several other factors. I leave mine out on the counter or put it in the crawlspace for storage. I only refrigerate the bottle I’m eating at the time.
