Premium Dried Ginger – The Warming Essence of Health and Flavor

1. Introduction to Dried Ginger

Dried Ginger, known in Vietnam as Gừng Khô or Can Khương in traditional medicine, is produced by dehydrating fresh, mature ginger roots (Zingiber officinale). While fresh ginger is known for its sharp “zing,” the drying process concentrates the Gingerols and converts them into Shogaols, which are significantly more potent in terms of heat and therapeutic benefits.

At Vinahugo, we select only “old” ginger roots (9–10 months) to ensure the highest fiber density and essential oil content. We use low-temperature drying technology to maintain the root’s natural pale-yellow color and prevent the loss of volatile aromatic compounds.
