Our ground Buffalo Ginger is an heirloom ginger variety grown by a group of farmers in the mountains of northern Vietnam. Known for its fruity, floral aroma and powerful heat, this is a complex and flavorful ginger powder that will elevate baked goods, stews and curries, and beverages from hot drinks to cocktails. In Vietnam, this 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. We regularly test our ginger for lead in an internationally accredited food safety testing lab, and it is always significantly below the lead limits of 1 ppm. Please contact us for more details on our testing procedures for ginger and other spices.

I'm always looking for single-origin spices, and this Buffalo Ginger did not disappoint. The aroma when I first opened the 13 oz container was intoxicating, a true mix of fruity and floral notes. It brings such a sophisticated heat to my Asian-inspired dishes and even makes a simple ginger tea feel luxurious. My husband, who is usually indifferent to spices, commented on how much more vibrant my chicken and rice dish tasted. It's a staple in my kitchen now.
This ginger has a powerful, unique heat and a lovely floral aroma.
I'm a huge fan of ginger, and this one really delivers on its promise of powerful heat and a unique flavor profile. It has a distinctive floral note that's missing from other ground gingers I've used, making my stir-fries and curries taste more authentic. I even tried it in a hot toddy, and it was incredibly soothing and fragrant. Definitely a step up from the generic brands.
This ginger is fantastic for both cooking and drinks. I've added it to hot water with honey, and it really soothes the stomach. The powerful heat and lovely floral notes are very comforting, especially on cold mornings. It's a high-quality product that stands out.
I bought this specifically for a ginger cake recipe, and it made all the difference. The complex flavor profile with the fruity and floral notes really shines through. It's unlike any other ginger powder I've used.
