Candied ginger, also known as
crystallized ginger, is a sweet and spicy treat made by slowly simmering ginger
in sugar syrup. The ginger root is first peeled, typically with a spoon to
remove a thin layer of skin. Then, it's sliced or chopped. The ginger is then
simmered again in a sugar solution which can take up to an hour, concentrating
the sugar syrup and infusing the ginger with sweetness. Finally, the candied
ginger is drained and spread out to dry. The sugar crystallizes around the
ginger slices, creating a delicious, crystallized coating.
Early Chinese texts reference ginger's ability to soothe nausea
and stomach ailments, a use that continues to this day. Arab traders later
brought ginger to Europe, where it became a coveted spice alongside cinnamon
and nutmeg. Candied ginger was a luxury enjoyed by the wealthy, a symbol of
both its rarity and its powerful flavor.
