The Pumpkin Spice flavour is around for sure! Check out some local coffee stops and you will find it there as part of a choice you have for your drink. Yet does ginger go with the pumpkin season? You decide! But first a series of science about the herb ginger:

  • Ginger is also known as Zingiber officinale or Adrak (India) and its botanical name in the Sanskrit name singabera
  • Ginger has a rich history, dating back as far as 3000 years ago (India and China) & Greece and Rome 10th century

Do you have this historical herb in your kitchen as a staple?

Here is the nutritional scientific facts for a 3/4″ (8mm) piece:
