Our buffalo ginger is an heirloom ginger variety from a group of farmers in the mountains of northern Vietnam. Known for its fruity and floral aroma and powerful heat, this is a complex & flavorful ginger powder that will elevate baked goods, stews and curries, and beverages from hot drinks to cocktails.
In Vietnam, the ginger is used with chicken, soup, rice, and candy. It’s also been used for medicinal purposes - to calm upset stomachs, restore appetite, and support the immune system. Any way you slice it, this is a spicy, wonderfully intense ginger.

United StatesI cook and bake with ginger all the time. The frustrating thing is the waning flavor that you get unless you use multiple preparations of ginger. I find this Buffalo Ginger has better flavor retention than the others I've tried-and I've tried all the national regular and organic brands as well as small "boutique" varieties. This one has a spicy ginger flavor that I love. Try it! You'll like it!! =D
United StatesI purchased both the ginger and cardamon and made one of my favorite recipes to try them out. The cardamon was especially nice. I might need to grind it a bit more to have a finer grain. Absolutely loved both and they made my pastry wonderfully delicious.
United StatesBest spices I've used in a long time. Will order again!
United StatesGinger is one of my favorite spices and B&B's Ginger is the best!!
United StatesGreat hot taste of ginger. You get so used to the super market kind, you forget what real powdered ginger should taste like.
