Ginger

Ginger has a long history of use both in medicine and in cooking. Ginger is a common feature of Asian cooking and is eaten, for example, added on to sushi. We in the West have rather used the ginger in sweets and drinks, including Ginger Ale and gingerbread.

In the distillation of the dried, unpeeled root perfumers extract essential oils. The oil provides a fresh, green and citrus-like scent. The scent also fels warm, woody and slightly peppery.
